> They are bad examples, but can't be changed for backward compatibility. I don't think that we should follow these bad examples :-) IMO ignoring silently bugs is a bad programming practice. I don't expect PyUnicode_IsIdentifier() to be used outside Python. If it's used, I don't see why it would be a "non-ready string" in practice. The risk of regression is very close to zero. If it happens, it's no longer our fault, since I documented the behavior change ;-) Again, right now, Python does crash if this corner case occurs... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39500> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
