[Python-Dev] Re: Request to postpone some Python 3.9 incompatible changes to Python 3.10

I think this particular mess was caused by the hiding of “DeprecationWarning”s by default: If you don’t see any warnings cropping up in your production code, you don’t know you have to fix something. Some languages handle it like this: 1. Silent deprecation warning (deprecated in docs and/or h

Hi Guido, As far as I can see, the general consensus seems to be to turn them back on in general: The last person to argue against it was Paul Moore, and he since said: “OK, I overstated [that you’re ‘hosed’ by DeprecationWarnings appearing]. Apologies. My recollection is of a lot more end user c

Sorry, I still don’t understand how any of this is a problem. 1. If you’re an application developer, google “python disable DeprecationWarning” and paste the code you found, so your users don’t see the warnings. 2. If you’re a library developer, and a library you depend on raises De

Hi! Just this minute I ran across a case where I’d want DeprecationWarnings on by default (We want to rename a property in an API I’m co-developing. I has mainly scientists as target audience, so end users, not developers) Gustavo Carneiro schrieb am Mo., 6. Nov. 2017 um 15:19 Uhr: > Big +1 to

hi, i already posted in python-ideas, but i got no replies, so i’ll post here: in essence i think interpreting escape sequences in f-literals is a *very* bad idea, mainly because i think it’s fundamental that syntax highlighters can highlight code as code. so they should highlight the code parts

[Python-Dev] re.findall() should return named tuple

2011-12-09 Thread Philipp A.
hi devs, just an idea that popped up in my mind: re.findall() returns a list of tuples, where every entry of each tuple represents a match group. since match groups can be named, we are able to use named tuples instead of plain tuples here, in the same fashion as namedtuple’s rename works: misssin
