It was get_context() in an earlier version of PEP 567. We changed it to copy_context() believing that that would clarify that you get a clone that is unaffected by subsequent ContextVar.set() operations (which affect the *current* context rather than the copy you just got).
In that case it seems clear to me that "the context" is conceptually a mutable mapping. The fact that it happens to be built out of immutable components is an implementation detail that user-level docs should not be talking about. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
