Raymond Hettinger is accusing my proposed API of being potentially confusing, while you're suggesting providing a hook? All I want is the option of telling namedtuple() to make up its own typename, for situations where there should be one but I don't want to provide it. Having said that, if people really think a hook like this is worth doing, I'll implement it. But I agree that it seems excessively complicated. Let's see if auto-generation is useful first, then if somebody wants a different auto-generation, provide the capability. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31085> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
