Chris says: "Even if Python does later on grow a generalized lazy evaluation feature, it will only change the *implementation* of late-bound argument defaults, not their specification." So you are mistaken that they are unrelated. Chris could end this debate (and start a whole new one!) by going to the Python-Dev mailing list and asking for a sponsor, and if he gets one, for the Steering Council to make a ruling on the PEP. He doesn't *need* consensus on Python-Ideas. (Truth is, we should not expect 100% agreement on any new feature.) But any arguments, questions and criticisms here which aren't resolved will just have to be re-hashed when the core devs and the Steering Council read the PEP. They can't be swept under the carpet. -- 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/2NAYYR4YX33KRFH5NH3RNHXXTNX2OVSS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
