> I'm just curious on the backward compatibility impact. I'm just curious on the number of programs depending on the repr() of any object at all in production (not counting tests). I could be wrong, but it seems foolish to rely on that, especially since this is something that we *can* change on an (almost) arbitrary basis. IMO, the repr() is meant to aid the programmer - not specifying keyword arguments here does quite the opposite of that :) > > -- > --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) -Emanuel _______________________________________________ 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/vgr255%40live.ca
