It's not private from Python's point of view, it's actually specified in a PEP. So all Python 3 code has to follow the rule, and there's no conflict internally. The characters shouldn't leak out to other applications, unless the user's code does its I/O very badly :-) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
