Alan and André, since you've both given positive feedback about this change, I'm interested in your perspectives about two problems which Raymond Hettinger brought up on the bpo issue [1]:
1. Reduced clarity of separation between input and output lines. 2. Increased indentation of outputs reduces horizontal screen real-estate, which is an issue for examples in presentations and books. Others are welcome to offer their perspectives too, of course :) - Tal [1] https://bugs.python.org/issue37903#msg393237 On Thu, May 13, 2021 at 11:22 PM Alan Gauld via IDLE-dev < idle-dev@python.org> wrote: > On 28/04/2021 07:52, Terry Reedy wrote: > > 3.10.0b1 is due to be released next Monday.
