> I'm wary of "%S" used in error messages. Maybe you're misunderstanding something. The goal is not really to change error messages, only the way how they are produced. For example, we currently have >>> def f(): pass >>> f(**1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: f() argument after ** must be a mapping, not int This is about how the "f()" in the error message is produced. Currently, this uses PyEval_GetFuncName() and PyEval_GetFuncDesc(). For the reasons explained in this issue, I want to replace that. I see two ways of doing this: 1. (PR 14890) Write a new function _PyObject_FunctionStr(func) which returns func.__qualname__ + "()" with a suitable fallback if there is no __qualname__ attribute. At some point, we could also introduce a %F format character for this. 2. (PR 15295) Use str(func) in the error message and change various __str__ methods (really tp_str functions) to give a more readable output. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37645> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
