I also (with others) prefer `else:` or perhaps `case else:` to using the`_` variable. The latter is obscure, and woudn't sit well with code that already uses that variable for its own purposes.I think that's done for consistency. '_' is a wildcard and you can have: case (_, _): to match any 2-tuple, so: case _: would match any value, and can thus already serve as the default.
Consistency with what? Where else is `_` currently used as a wildcard? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/SXLNU6FB3Z5AT6APEQUYVGUAJKJH7BZO/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
