Just to be clear, the question on the table is whether to revert this change in behavior for 3.8.0 and beyond. The original change had also been backported and appears in 3.7.4rc1 and rc2. Now that its compatibility implications are clearer, the change will be reverted for 3.7.4 final and will not be considered for future 3.7.x releases. -- Ned Deily nad@python.org -- []
