Jan Kaliszewski <z...@chopin.edu.pl> added the comment: The matter had been discussed (and not once...), IMO without satisfactory conclusion -- see:
* http://bugs.python.org/issue612627 (the feature added) * http://bugs.python.org/issue1214889 (another feature rejected) * http://bugs.python.org/issue1099364 (problems reported) * http://bugs.python.org/issue967986 (problems reported) * http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2008-December/693601.html * http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-December/084362.html * and probably in many other places... Anyway, it's definitely a bug -- either in the language/implementation or in the documentation. ---------- nosy: +zuo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4947> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
