And you seem to have 2nd level miss about this miss. I'm not the 1st asking about braces in Python, hundreds of people embraced braces (sorry for the pun) in Python for decades (references are in other messages of this thread). Apparently, they forgot to ask for "acceptance", and accepted it themselves. The problem? There's high duplication of effort in that area, and the same implementation bugs are repeated again and again. So the question is whether someone who did it, tried to spec out what they did, what is the test process, etc. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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/5QJ2OQJMTDRP7TB4TZ6QEPZ7AK7UQKNL/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
