There were two reasons of accepting arbitrary callables in _type_check(): 1. NewType() returned a function. 2. xml.etree.cElementTree.Element was a function in Python 2. Now NewType is a class, and Python 2 no longer supported. I agree that we should get rid of the callable() check, but I disagree with the proposed change. The check should be more explicit and strict, not more lenient. List[42] does not make sense and should not be accepted. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46644> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
