Hello (A bit of context: The original message comes from bug #2775, “Implement PEP 3108”, a meta-bug tracking stdlib reorganization for py3k.)
> I am very glad you're reorganizing the Standard Library. Thumbs up! I > hope everything will comply to PEP 8 after you're done. You may have missed the timeline: Most of the PEP 3108 changes have been done before the first 3.x release went out. Now that we have 3.1 out as a stable and supported, we cannot reorganize and break compatibility anymore. (A note about PEP 8 compliance: Module names have been mostly fixed, but not all function/method names, for example in logging and unittest. If I recall correctly, readability did not seem to make all the rewrites worth it.) > Since you're reorganizing, I have my own contribution. I have attached > a patch. The issue7351 <http://bugs.python.org/issue7351> was not > accepted at the time, so I hope you'll accept this fix now. I’ve just re-read the answers there and they are still valid. Ezio and me: “Your patch need to include an alias (BadZipfile = BadZipFile) to preserve compatibility with old pickles, as explains msg95477.” Antoine: “I don't think changing it for the sake of aesthetics is a good deal given that many existing programs will have to be converted to the new spelling.” Regards _______________________________________________ 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
