"""Some care must be taken not to break existing tooling. To minimize breakage, the co_lnotab attribute will be retained, but lazily generated on demand.""" - https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0626/#id4 This breaks existing tooling. -gps > -- > > Pablo > > On Fri, 17 Jul 2020, 15:55 Mark Shannon, <m...@hotpy.org> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I'd like to announce a new PEP. >> >> It is mainly codifying that Python should do what you probably already >> thought it did :) >> >> Should be uncontroversial, but all comments are welcome. >> >> Cheers, >> Mark. >> _______________________________________________ >> 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/BMX32UARJFY3PZZYKRANS6RCMR2XBVVM/ >> Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ >> > _______________________________________________ > 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/57OXMUBV5FAEFXULRBCRAHEF7Q5GP6QT/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ >
