It does sidestep the "There is nothing special about None" argument which IS the reason cited for rejecting the previous change. OTOH, you are still right, in the sense that I know that no matter what exactly I propose, there WILL be a way to view it negatively. (BTW: did you see the 2nd flavor of my proposal in the P.S. where I *don't* get what I want)? I'm having trouble staying away from the discussion - I tried once and failed. Other people continue to talk about it, then I join again. But it might be best if I leave the discussion or at least my position as the person who's proposing this change. Forget about the PR/issue and start over. Perhaps someone else needs to push for it. A core dev, so their opinion on the matter will count for something. Until then, it's not a productive use of our collective time to discuss it any further. _______________________________________________ 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/LGBQZGL6RQCWLFCP3C2ZFDTFQSR33LU3/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
