yota moteuchi added the comment: Well, I would disagree with R. David Murray on this.
literal_eval() is meant to safely parse literal pythons "containers" structures. {1, 2, 3} is a valid literal set(), why would an empty one not be parse-able as well. I can not predict, when I dump the structure with repr(), if the set() will be empty or not. ---------- nosy: +yota moteuchi _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24663> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
