> main concern here is ease in portability We've long stated that there should never be dependency on the exact wording of an error message. We're allowed to change that. > For instance it was consistent in 2.7.1 To the extent we care about this, it is more important to be consistent with later releases than earlier releases. Since I don't see any evidence that there is a real world problem, I would like to see this left alone. At this point, in Python 2.7's life we need to have a strong aversion to any changes at all. Not only has that ship sailed, its voyage is almost over. ---------- versions: +Python 2.7 -Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31550> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
