Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
Presumably when the implementation was done the IS_ABSTRACT name sounded more logical than just ABSTRACT. Since the PEP doesn't *specify* the name of this flag[1] I see no reason to change anything. Closing. _____ [1] The PEP mentions this flag exactly once: (If this were implemented in CPython, an internal flag ``Py_TPFLAGS_ABSTRACT`` could be used to speed up this check [6]_.) ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27724> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
