Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: As I wrote in python-dev:
I agree with Raymond that this should be treated as a feature request and not "fixed" in 2.7 / 3.2. (However the mention of 'find' in the error message for 'index' is a bug and should be fixed.) As for the feature request, I think that allowing None in more places is more regular and consistent across interfaces. I note that the slice() object also represents "missing" or "default" values as None, so it is not just a carryover from the old string.py. So, +1 on the feature for 3.3; -1 on the "fix" in 3.2 or 2.7. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11828> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
