The canonical answer to this question is https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0472/#use-cases I'd like the examples there to be expanded and improved upon. To help support this I've created https://pypi.org/project/kwkey/, which emulates in today's Python the proposed enhancement. I'd like us to write code now that can use the enhancement, if and when it arrives. By the way, thank you Paul and your colleagues for your work on creating and developing pip. It's one of our most important tools. I'm all for having real-world use cases, and where possible working solutions, as a key part of the discussion. I admit that there has been a past deficiency here. I hope that we will correct this soon. For my part, I'm working on an enhanced kwkey, which will provide a wider range of emulation. -- Jonathan
