I don't believe there is enough value in this to do it. From PEP 8: "Some other good reasons to ignore a particular guideline: ... Because the code in question predates the introduction of the guideline and there is no other reason to be modifying that code. ... " That applies to both snake_casing (no functional improvement) and the basicConfig change (no worthwhile functional improvement; documentation covers, or should cover, the actual keyword arguments; it's not clear in what context improved inspection capabilities would be particularly helpful for basicConfig. It's not as if this is the only usage of **kwargs in the stdlib). The energy that would be spent on doing this would be better spent on other things, IMO. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35572> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
