I don't think it is a typo, unfortunately. I share this concern, and it's one of the reasons I would prefer assignments to be explicitly marked. With case Point(x=?a, y=?b): then if you get it wrong and write case Point(?a=x, ?b=y): at least you'll get a syntax error. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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/JOMGBETRPYWVMRIM3UXZVG422J5TCBCT/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
