Good point, this would probably have to be a gradual change if it did happen, rather than being at all once. If it were to happen with a proper deprecation cycle and clear communication, I think it would result in significantly less confusion overall and provide a higher degree of consistency across stdlib in the long term. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/FYV3Q3YW2KWZGZ7VKMF2AXY3DUNDHWE6/
