Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Ideally, proposed API expansions should be based on a demonstrated user need. This API is over decade old and I don't recall a single user request for this functionality. A quick scan of StackOverflow didn't turn-up any questions or answers on the subject.
I don't see anything intrinsically wrong with the idea, but in the absence of demonstrated need, it is likely to become unused cruft with it attendant burden on maintenance and cognitive load. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29569> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
