You don't. You need to justify putting them in the stdlib. That's a pretty high bar. And as crappy as the contracts in Marko's pathlib rewrite look to me, I suspect you'll need syntactic support (eg, for "implies", see my post replying to Marko). If people want checking in production where reasonable (seems to be one of the nice things about contracts), you'll probably want a language change to support that syntax efficiently, which is usually a prohibitively high bar. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
