Hi, I just realized that the Python peephole optimizer removes useless instructions like numbers and strings between other instructions, without raising an error nor emiting an error. Example:
$ python -Wd -c 'print "Hello"; "World"' Hello As part of my astoptimizer project, I wrote a function to detect such useless instructions which emit a warning. I opened the following issue to report what I found: http://bugs.python.org/issue17516 Different modules use long strings as comments. What is the "official" policy about such strings? Should we use strings or comments? (IMO a comment should be used instead.)
