Boy, having a postional-only parameter in that first position would have been handy when we created this API (as Matthias pointed out). :) The 'exec' keyword-only parameter is obviously the safest option here. Making the first parameter positional-only and then making the other parameters optional would lead to the most fluid API long-term as people I suspect would much rather just pass in an object than always specifying the keyword-only parameter every time going forward. I also doubt anyone is specifying etype by name. So my vote is: +1 to a positional-only first parameter +0 to 'exc' keyword-only parameter ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue26389> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
