Emil Stenström <e...@emilstenstrom.se> added the comment: Since the proposal is fully backwards compatible I don’t think preferring the old version is a reason against this nicer API. After all, people that like the current version can continue using it as they do today.
Teaching Python to beginners is a great way to find the warts of a language (I’ve done it too). In the beginning people struggle with arrays and if-blocks, and having to go into how map and the str constructor work together to get a comma separated list of ints is just too much. Beginners are an important group of programmers that this proposal will clearly benefit. I’m sure there will be some “None”-strings that will slip through this, but I think the upside far outweighs the downside in this case. Big +1 from me. ---------- nosy: +EmilStenstrom _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43535> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
