Skip Montanaro <[email protected]> added the comment:
I'll be the wet blanket here and say -1. This doesn't seem at all necessary. 81
occurrences in ~3.5k PyPI packages? That's a hardly overwhelming endorsement.
To top it off, since this can't be backported to 3.10 and earlier, it creates a
needless (trivial) difference. Package authors who would like to use this but
support earlier versions of Py3 will need to do something like this:
try:
from string import ascii_alphanumerics
except ImportError:
ascii_alphanumerics = string.ascii_letters + string.digits
They get no benefit from the addition. In fact, their code gets marginally
harder to read.
