If there are only a few places where the needle is on the left and there's not a specific functionality requirement/limitation in those locations which prevent it from being on the right, it's better to have consistency. Is there any particular benefit from having the needle on the left side, or was it just a personal preference from the developer who first implemented the code in those 6 locations? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/JYQ5YFUWLGULRUX5T36KD6EJEKKY3L22/
