Some module attributes in the stdlib have attribute __version__. It makes sense if the module is developed independently from Python, but after inclusion in the stdlib it no longer have separate releases which should be identified by version. New changes goes into module usually without changing the value of __version__. Different versions of the module for different Python version can have different features but the same __version__.
I propose to remove __version__ in all stdlib modules. Are there any exceptions? Also, what do you think about other meta attributes like __author__, __credits__, __email__, __copyright__, __about__, __date__? _______________________________________________ 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/KBU4EU2JULXSMUZULD5HJJWCGOMN52MK/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
