The os.environ mapping uses a subclass of MutableMapping which accepts 4 functions: encoder/decoder for the key and encoder/decoder for the value. Such type is even more generic. transformdict cannot replace os._Environ.
True, it's more generic -- but is it used more often? Or often enough to have those four functions be part of transformdict instead of just the one encodekey function? (I mean the idea of os._Environ, not that specific implementation.)
Personally, I wouldn't mind having all four; for one thing, the name 'transformdict' would then be entirely appropriate. ;) -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
