Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdr...@acm.org> added the comment: Making ConfigParser an alias for SafeConfigParser creates a silent behavioral change. An application developer may not realize that users rely on the "full" ConfigParser anti-glory and end up breaking their configurations without so much as providing a heads-up in the application news.
-1 So long as the application developer has to change their code to move away from ConfigParser, there's a better chance of affected end users receiving a heads-up. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
