It simply depends on the utility of customizing the default behavior there. I seem to remember subclassing Untokenize for something in a personal project, but I expect doing so wasn't necessary. > > How do we do code searches (as for use of "Untokenize") these days? I believe there was one for which Guido was advocating, but I don't recall it's name. Such a search would be useful though. -eric _______________________________________________ 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
