This is a new feature and cannot be added to older versions which are in feature-freeze. Adding the feature to (say) Python 2.7.18 would be inconsistent, because it wouldn't exist in 2.7.0 through .17. Likewise for all the other versions before 3.9. Personally, this sounds like a nice feature to have, and your use-case sounds convincing to me. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40301> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
