Closely related: #37427. I'm not sure why that issue was closed. My naive expectation would be that in most cases where an API specifies a flag, an arbitrary Python object can be used for that flag (and is then interpreted in boolean context). That's the natural behaviour that you get when handling flags in pure Python code. Ex: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/8ba8cc51a9899594f7fe66fe790973d83fd3d657/Lib/pathlib.py#L190 ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson, terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
