Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: As far as docs phrasing goes, it probably makes sense to frame it as "text" being the preferred argument name in 3.7+, with "universal_newlines" retained indefinitely as a compatibility preserving alias. After all, if that wasn't our intention, we wouldn't be adding the more straightforward alias in the first place.
As a new Py3-only argument, "text" can also be made keyword-only. (The Popen arg list is so long that most folks treat everything other than the first item as keyword-only anyway, but it doesn't hurt to ask the interpreter to enforce that) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31756> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
