Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: I recall a discussion in which it was argued that "look before you leap"-style argument checking that we implemented in py3k was a feature and backporting it to 2.x could potentially break code running on platforms with promiscuous (and possibly buggy) asctime().
I am +0 on back-porting, but would like someone else to make the call. ---------- nosy: +haypo, lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16137> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
