This is such a good idea that many people, including myself, have already had it, and even more agree that this would be the proper way for a new language. But as already discussed on python-ideas, this change would break possibly millions of programs, and we will will not do that. Please don't futilely push this further.
Current workaround at least for consistency: l = list() # new empty list t = tuple() # new empty tuple s = set() # new empty set d = dict() # new empty dictionary
Anyone who values consistency can pay the price of this in ones own code. If you have questions, python-list would be the appropriate place. -- Terry Jan Reedy _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/5XVT47A2AWGKM3BRJD27OD3I64IPEQ2N/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
