Santiago Gala <sg...@apache.org> added the comment:
I don't think they are equally clear, at least from the point of view of the
code written towards the API. I think that
execute("UPDATE authors set name = ?, email = ?, comment = ? WHERE id = ?",
(form.name, form.email, form.text, form.id))
is way less clear, more verbose, and prone to alignment errors, than
execute("UPDATE authors set name = :name, email = :email, comment = :text WHERE
id = :id", form)
I think this is the reason why the PEP writer prefer named style and. I was
about to recode an example using a dictionary for cleaner code, when I noticed
the bug. Now I need to hardcode that sqlite3 supports 'named' style, even if
paramstyle says other thing, or to dynamically test, in case they decide to
remove support for the next release. Both are ugly alternatives.
