Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdr...@acm.org> added the comment: I agree that the existing defaults={...} should never have been added to the stdlib. It made sense in the originating application, but should have been implemented differently to keep application-specific behavior out of what eventually was added to the stdlib.
Will think further about the rest of this when I'm on my own computer and can read & play with the patch in a more usable environment. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9452> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
