PR 12701 makes breaking changes in the inspect module. Currently we have two sets of APIs in the inspect module: old deprecated API that do not support keyword-only arguments, and new *full* API that supports them. Even many years since 3.0 the old API still has not been removed. Adding support for positional-only arguments needs changes of the same order as adding support of keyword-only arguments. It means deprecating the current API and introducing a new (*fuller*?) API. This is a slow process for many releases. We could also take opportunity to redesign APIs completely instead of just adding new parameters and fields. I suggest to remove all breaking changes in the inspect module and defer them to the separate issue. This perhaps will need a discussion on Python-Dev, and maybe not one. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36540> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
