Martin v. Löwis added the comment:
Paul: Discussion of the PEP is out of the scope of this issue. The primary
point of the PEP process is that it steers discussion. So if you object to the
PEP, contact the PEP author and ask for your objection to be considered, and if
not that, at least be recorded.
I feel that your proposed change is highly confusing. People might expect that
array.array('i', 3)
creates an array with the single value 3 (just as they factually do expect that
for bytes). Keyword-only parameters might clear that ambiguity, e.g.
array.array('i', len=3)
array.array(type='i', len=3, value=0)
In any case, it is unlikely that anything will be done with this issue unless
you provide a patch (and that still would be no guarantee that somebody accepts
it).
