And I’ve already stated my reasons for rejecting this specific solution, but I’ll repeat them for onlookers: 1. Huge performance penalty 2. Rather verbose, so somewhat fails on the stated goal of improving readability 3. Tooling* falls down very hard on this My macropy implementation that I linked to solves 1, improves 2 somewhat (but not much), and handled half of 3 by resulting in code that tooling can validate that the passed variables exists but fails in that tooling won’t correctly validate that the arguments actually correspond to existing parameters. * by tooling I mean editors like PyCharm and static analysis tools like mypy / Anders _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
