My-Tien Nguyen <my-tien.ngu...@ariadne.ai> added the comment: I don’t think, “other languages do that too” is a good argument here. This would apply if behaving differently would break user expectation. But here we would do nothing more than explicitly inform the user of a relevant operation. If they already expected that behaviour, they can disregard the warning.
I don’t see how `parse_int`would help me here, I would need a `parse_str=int`, but then it would try to parse every string, and I don’t see the use case for that. I would suggest a warning similar to this: --- json/encoder.py +++ json/encoder.py @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ """Implementation of JSONEncoder """ import re +import warnings try: from _json import encode_basestring_ascii as c_encode_basestring_ascii @@ -353,7 +354,9 @@ items = sorted(dct.items(), key=lambda kv: kv[0]) else: items = dct.items() + non_str_key = False for key, value in items: + non_str_key = non_str_key or not isinstance(key, str) if isinstance(key, str): pass # JavaScript is weakly typed for these, so it makes sense to @@ -403,6 +406,8 @@ else: chunks = _iterencode(value, _current_indent_level) yield from chunks + if non_str_key: + warnings.warn("Encountered non-string key(s), converted to string.", RuntimeWarning) if newline_indent is not None: _current_indent_level -= 1 yield '\n' + _indent * _current_indent_level ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
