Hi everyone!
I'm the maintainer of a small django library called django-components. I've run
into a problem that I have a language-level solution (tagged strings) to, that
I think would benefit the wider python community.
*Problem*
A component in my library is a combination of python code, html

My impression whenever this idea is proposed is like Barry's. The "win"
isn't big enough not simply to use named functions.
Balancing out the slight "win" is the much larger loss of adding additional
complexity to the Python language. New grammar, new parser, possibly new
semantics if tagged stri
Hi Barry,
Your reply could easily be read as "this is a bad idea, and you shouldn't have
bothered writing it down". I hope that was not your intention, and instead it
comes from handling self-indulgent people expecting things from you all day. I
know, I get those requests too. I'll assume that

Named functions solve another problem, so I don't see how this is an
alternative? More on this below.

Thanks for the query "string prefixes". I tried other queries but not that one.
I ended my first message with "I hope I didn't break any unspoken
For reference: This thread has a much deeper discussion of this idea:
https://discuss.python.org/t/allow-for-arbitrary-string-prefix-of-strings/19740/11
I'll continue the discussion there instead.

Jim Baker has been working on tagged strings, and Guido has a working
implementation. See https://github.com/jimbaker/tagstr/issues/1
I thought Jim had a draft PEP on this somewhere, but I can’t find it.

Just to be clear on my opinion. I think Emil's idea was 100% appropriate to
share on python-ideas, and he does a good job of showing where it works be
useful. Sure, a background search is nice, but not required.
That doesn't mean I *support* the idea. I take a very conservative attitude
