Meh. None of this is a real issue. It's just some extra messy coding. But Van's point is that this proposal gives him less hard coding. Beyond pointing out that it gives me more, I don't have much to add.
I suspect a case could be made that harmonization now will benefit multiple people in, say, 5 years, especially if by then one only supported 3.3+ while supporting multiple platforms. It would be the same rationale as that for 3.0, and especially the bytes to unicode change for text. (As I remember, we are only 3 years in on that one ;-).
I leave it to Van to actually explain and make the argument. -- Terry Jan Reedy _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
