Commit summary for pywikipedia.r9971: Starting the survey for old Python versions. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pywikipediabot.general/12473 Valhallasw's comment: Yes, and in a few months someone else removes it, and does this by changing 'output' to 'pass', while keeping the rest of the code in place. Or maybe it will be replaced by a warning 'hey, your python is too old, and we're dropping support for it in 2 months!' Therefore, beauty - or rather: reducing the possibility someone else fucks up your code - is always important, even for pieces of code you /think/ will be short-lived. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
