I'm with you on the backwards-compatibility front. Changing Python fast and for no particular reason incurs a big cost. Is the reason good enough to justify removing a chunk of the interface? Good question.
To your dict argument: if there was a native Pythonic way to make a frozen list, what would a tuple's purpose be then, if not just another name for that? That also seems like an appropriate analogy. _______________________________________________ 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/Z5YUK53VTA2GE4NIQ3DUI6HHBVUA3JZ4/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
