The COST of implementing this PEP is *quite literally* tens of
millions of person days. The benefit is a rare savings of two lines of
function body code or a docstring line.
I think you exaggerate, e.g.:
- Many students may never use late-binding, and be perfectly happy
not knowing about it).
- Not just saving two lines but IMO adding simplicity and clarity
But no matter.
If this were always a compelling argument, Python would *never* be changed.
