It's a matter of taste, I like the compacity of the standalone as. It describe clearly the variable name, and the order matches the positional arguments so I don't find it surprising. If it's not the positional value, what else can it be ? What would be clearer by using an underscore, which itself corresponds to nothing ? The fact that it was never used like this it not an argument per se, because that's the point of new syntax... _______________________________________________ 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/AM7X2UBI56YHVYFKWWODPJRDRSG5X3G7/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
