I also seem to recall Guido saying he liked it [%a], which flipped the discussion from "do we have a good rationale for including it?" to "do we have a good rationale for the BDFL to ignore his instincts?". However, it would be up to Guido to confirm that recollection, and if "Guido likes it" is part of the reason for inclusion of the %a code, the PEP should mention that explicitly.
I checked Guido's posts (Subject contains PEP 461, From contains guido) and did not see anything to that effect. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
