Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Thanks for the report. Could you elaborate a bit on the rational for the change? Aesthetics are usually not sufficient to change things; on the other hand, use of simplicity is a goal.
Is is easier to remember two functions for two uses or to have one function with a parameter? Are users confused by the two functions with unhelpful names? These are the kinds of questions to answer before considering breaking everyone’s code with a deprecation and removal. Would you be willing to raise the issue on the python-ideas mailing list to get feedback? Thanks in advance. ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo, rhettinger versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11989> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
