Too bad, because I like that approach. How hard would it be to add support for ‘a’ as a local flag? (I’m kind of surprised that it isn’t already supported - it seems like it would be useful.) I would like this better than hacking Template.flags after the fact. It seems like the right way to align the code with the documentation (i.e. fix a bug). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
