Senthil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Sorry for the delay and my miss in further communication on this issue. I would like to take this issue in two fronts for its closure.
1) Issue with headers .capitalize() vs .title() 2) Documenting the Interface With respect to point 1), I assume that we all agree upon that headers should stored in Titled-Format instead of Capitalized-format. So I went ahead with the implementation of Titled format with a CaseInsensitive Lookup so that previous code using Capitalize format would also return values from the headers dict. John: I agree with your point that these changes would break the .header_items() that returns a list of Titled() key-value pairs, whereas the previous existing code would be expecting Capitalized key-value pairs. CaseInsensitive Dict lookup would not solve it. I had assumed that new code will be confirming to it and changed the tests. Even though I thought about it, I did not bring it up for discussion for backward compatibility header_items() method. - I don't have a solution for how to make header_items() backward compatible if we go for headers title() change. I shall try to come up by today. Now, if we go for a Case Normalization at the much later stage, will the headers be stored still in capitalize() format? ( In that case, this bug requests it be stored in .titled() format confirming to many practices) Would you like to explain a bit more on that? We can address the documentation of interface later to coming upon conclusion on the first one. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
