R. David Murray added the comment: Committed the message changes to 3.5 only, since it will probably cause tests to fail in various projects, despite messages not being a formal part of the python API. Per IRC conversation with Ezio and Antoine, I posted a note to python-dev to let people know we now have a consistent terminology in the docs and error messages, and to provide a last opportunity for objections (it is easy enough to back the patch out if there is an outcry, but I don't expect one). ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> fixed stage: commit review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16518> _______________________________________
