Bob, this issue tracker is for managing patches to the cpython repository. not for 'help me understand' requests, The latter belong on, for instance, python-list. Unless you have a specific proposal, other than leaving 'basestring' alone(1), that we could reject or accept and implement, please close this(2) as 'not a bug' or whatever. (1) Rejected as leaving code broken for 3.x. (2) Discussion elsewhere *might* result in a concrete suggestion appropriate for this or a new issue. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38003> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
