New submission from Jakub Mateusz Dzik <bugs.python.org20171...@amix.org.pl>:
Several modules of the standard library (at least `re` and `csv`) have `__version__` strings. The string is the same for Python 2.7-3.6: >>> import re, csv; print(re.__version__, csv.__version__) 2.2.1 1.0 while documentation indicates changes in the modules. Semantic versioning (recommended by PEP 440) suggests that at least minor version should change in such case. I suspect it to be a "code fossil" which may be removed according to PEP 396. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 304654 nosy: abukaj priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Misleading __version__ attribute of modules in standard library type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31826> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
