I've put up the doc update PR here: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/27166 I've also reviewed a few dozen SO questions about filecmp.cmp and shallow arg, many of them find the docs confusing or lacking, so I thought updating docs is definitely very useful. I haven't seen any of them asking for "force shallow" behavior, but there's many of them and I haven't read all; searching for "force shallow" doesn't find any. I think it might be useful to also add a new 'force shallow' arg, but I hope more people ask for it or compile a list of SO questions asking for it, otherwise it might not be worth additional complexity. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42958> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
