It isn't clear to me whether your question is a request for clarification (does the PEP mean this...?) or a request for a change in behaviour (could you change the PEP to do this...?). Why would you want to type `foo(...)` when you could just type `foo()`? > The only place that I am aware of the Ellipsis being used is in index > notation (numpy). > So this would have likely an impact on __getitem__ or the slice object. Ellipsis has been around for over twenty years so we have to assume it would have an impact on thousands of programs. We don't just care about famous, popular libraries like numpy, we care about breaking little scripts used by one person too. -- Steve _______________________________________________ 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/M23GNYPCZAVCFOURUBCGURL64U6DEWBR/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
