Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: Addressing just the last part of Mark's message right now:
The PEP goes on to say: Implementation note: The implementation of this proposal is not required to enforce the rule about a simple or dotted name being a valid Python identifier. ... I rely on getattr lookup failing for dotted names, but for simple names there's no check at all. I agree it's desirable to leave this behavior. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7951> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
