A new `intermediate_mode=` kwarg can't _default_ to `mode=` as that would flip flop the API's default behavior again and no doubt disrupt someone elses 3.7-3.10 authored code depending on it. :( Regardless I do somewhat like `intermediate_mode=` more than the PR's existing `recursive_mode=` as it opens up more possible behaviors... Allowing `None` to mean "use `mode=`" is desirable as that'll likely be the most common case. As I expect this to be very common, an easier to type name than intermediate_mode is desirable. Brainstorming: * mid_mode? * submode? * imode? My preference leans towards the latter names. Probably `submode=`. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42367> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
