My suggestion for the *python version* already does this too (again, see my PR). This is a win-win, as it also improves error messages (as suggested by Nick in the earlier discussions). -- Koos > > > -- > ~Ethan~ > > _______________________________________________ > 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/k7hoven%40gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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
