Yes, that’s why I said a stats collector is one of the rare cases where it could actually be useful. There aren’t that many cases where it helps, and trying to build higher-level abstractions around it means you end up with something that doesn’t even help most of those few cases. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/XHLBAOJTXOLDMF4P4BJQUHK6BHU2YKYV/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
