Maybe there is a place for big warnings somewhere? I have been mulling over the possibility of proposing a backwards-incompatible (though minimally so, hopefully) change to arithmetic semantics that would work well with how people think this should work, but I think any such backwards-incompatible change would be a Big Deal™, and unfortunately quite hard to warn about with a proper deprecation period. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed type: -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
