Stefan Behnel added the comment: Yes, code usually doesn't fall from the sky with a new CPython release. If something wants to make use of this ABC, it still has to find ways to also work with older CPythons. What would be a good fallback? A backport on PyPI?
I wouldn't even mind shipping this class with Cython and dropping it right into "collections.abc" if it's missing. Cython already contains lots of compatibility code, and we need to patch *something* in all current CPythons either way. Then your code snippet would be the right thing to do for user code (with the twist that Py2.x doesn't have "collections.abc"...). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24018> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
