Okay, so from the replies so far it looks like this is very quickly going into the 'never gonna happen' dumpster, so in the interests of salvaging *something* out of it:

I just dislike having to settle for 'it's what we've got'. With these two modules in particular, a lot of the arguments that have been made so far either don't apply or are not as strong (such as the confusion of having builtins.list, builtins.List and typing.List). Additionally, these are significantly more ancillary portions of the stdlib than the builtins, much less likely to cause as severe of a disruption (I personally don't believe a backward-compatible change like this which only adds aliases would be as disruptive as many people claim, but concede that that's subjective), and much less likely to have the implementation change so drastically as to want to change out types for factory functions or vice-versa. So perhaps we could narrow the scope of this down to just adding snake_case aliases to the logging and unittest modules [...]
+1 I would happily change all my unittest and logging usage to snake case if those aliases existed. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ 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/JZVMZDG4NBUWLMFHHV3DBTTVDSSLWBYT/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
