Perhaps aliases of objects could be something worth baking into the language itself.
We would have to be using aliases a *lot* to make something like this worthwhile. I don't think that's something we should be doing or encouraging. Also, for the use case being considered -- renaming functions and methods -- garbage collection is hardly an issue. If you want the help for an alias to be different from the thing it aliases, you can achieve that now using a stub function that delegates to the replacement. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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/FEERFEPMQ3T5W65HGKNYKYM6VMU3M3TS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
