Unfortunately, as Steven pointed out, the parameter is *already* documented with the name "fmt". So one option would be to call it "fmt" and "format"; the other option would be to not only deprecate the positional passing, but also the passing under the name fmt=. As for calling it "dicttemplate" - I'm sure people can and will propose alternative spellings :-) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
