<a href="http://python.org/sf/1637022">http://python.org/sf/1637022</a> points out a problem caused by the lack<br>of a _Py prefix on Ellipsis. Most (all?) of the new AST names are not<br>prefixed. These are all meant to be internal names. Are there any
<br>issues with changing this? If we do so, it means that any module<br>built with 2.5 that is using these names will fail to work in 2.5.1.<br>No code outside the core *should* be using these names.</blockquote><div><br>
It makes me terribly uncomfortable, as removing symbols is absolutely not something that should happen in a bugfix release, but I think that, in this case, it is the right thing to do. Well, the least-wrong thing to do. If only C had more visibility control, sigh ;-P
