Sometimes, even with a champion for improving the API through renames, it doesn't happen. There is still the BDFL (or whatever comes to replace that role) to reckon with <URL:https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-July/081263.html>. In that case, it was the inertia of the existing body of code using the API names which gave justification to reject renames. I would expect that was significant also in the decision not to change the ‘logging’ API names. -- \ “[F]reedom of speech does not entail freedom to have your ideas | `\ accepted by governments and incorporated into law and policy.” | _o__) —Russell Blackford, 2010-03-06 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
