FWIW what *is* the status of this proposal? It feels reasonable to change this in 3.5. My friend at SourceGraph found no evidence of the behavior being relied on in real code (it did find the unit test :-). Although I'm sure he only searched a limited corpus. If someone wants to do a more thorough search before deciding I can point them to the software needed.

I'm +1 for this idea. It's not about whether the style is good (which its not), but its fundamentally about the fact that it will fix bugs.

It's not about fixing bugs. There are lots of bugs which could be fixed by changing Python behavior. It's about the fact that it almost surely doesn't penalize any correct programs that depend on the existing behavior.

Right now I think it’s waiting on someone to actually do it. Personally I was waiting on development on 3.5 to open up before I bothered to see if I could figure out how to do this or not :) If someone else gets to it before me all the better though! ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
