Maybe unrelated, but the same goes for `pickle.load` and `pickle.dump`. For consistencies, any changes made to `json.load` and `json.dump` (e.g. adding `json.loadf` and `json.dumpf` or accepting a path like as argument) should be also applied equivalently to `pickle.load` and `pickle.dump`.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any more places in the standard library with the same parallel structure. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/RUZLS2JIFURTBW447TQ3P6HAEDQDEYVZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
