I've heard a few complaints over the years about the number of combinations of string prefixes being a problem and a high barrier to new ones being accepted. Especially since they are allowed to be capital letters as well, which I've never actually seen used in the real world. Some code formatters already fix these.
At the appropriate time, hopefully we can deprecate u… and the capital prefixes too. -Mike _______________________________________________ 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/IQET4TCCPAD4FVQBV23D2UKJ2CV7XYX3/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
