Łukasz Langa <luk...@langa.pl> added the comment: Have you encountered misuse of Mock's `name` and `parent` in the wild? As you're saying, since `str()` and `repr()` will error out anyway, it's unlikely users were doing this in the first place.
I'm a little hesitant to accept the deprecation since there are very many places in the stdlib where we accept an equivalent of, say, `name=` during some object's `__init__()` and just assign it to a field. If that happens not to be printable and crash `repr()` then too bad... but we won't be adding checks for each such case, right? ---------- nosy: +lukasz.langa _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45215> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
