Ammar Askar <am...@ammaraskar.com> added the comment:
The documentation also goes on to say that its default value is '/'. It is optional in the sense that the function can be called without providing it. It doesn't mean that `None` is somehow a valid type for it. Consider the open function for example: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open The documentation says that, "mode is an optional string that specifies the mode in which the file is opened. It defaults to 'r' " This doesn't mean you can just go off and do `open("file.txt", None)` ---------- nosy: +ammar2 resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35041> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
