Geoffrey Bache <gjb1...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
Who said anything about not supporting users who want the hierarchy? I'm
talking about making "qualname" ****optional****, not removing it
entirely! I even supplied the entirety of the code (all 4 lines of it)
to be clear what I meant a few comments ago.
The files have gone from about 5kb to about 15kb. Of course diskspace is
not a problem in itself, but these files need to be read and edited by
non-coders and they're a lot scarier (and harder to tweak) than the old
ones were. Basically they're full of abstract technical concepts
("qualname", "handler") and bits of python code to be eval'ed.
Yes, I can write my own format. But I can't see anything about my case
which is unusual and I'm sure there must be a demand for something
simpler, which is why I bothered to report this issue at all.
It's not particularly hard to find people out there raising this if you
google a bit. But I shall raise this on comp.lang.python as you suggest.
