[New-bugs-announce] [issue28801] configparser: before_get() method of class Interpolation has positional 'parser' parameter that is not used.

[Richard Prosser]

New submission from Richard Prosser:

>From https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.5/Lib/configparser.py (for example):

358class Interpolation:
359    """Dummy interpolation that passes the value through with no changes."""
360
361    def before_get(self, parser, section, option, value, defaults):
362        return value

but a typical invocation misses out the 'parser' parameter:

796            return self._interpolation.before_get(self, section, option, value,
797                                                  d)

As far as I can see, this is not a keyword-only parameter, yet PyCharm seems to treat it as one. So maybe this is some new behaviour that I don't understand yet but there seems to be a fault here, IMO.

I am using Python 3.5.2 on Windows 7, after using the 'futurize' tool on some legacy 2.7 code that extended self._interpolate (which no longer exists in 3+).
