This would ban "παν語", aka "pango". That's arguably a good idea (IMO, 0.9 wink), but might make some GTK/GNOME folks sad. > Simplicity won, in part because of existing practice in EMACS > scripting, particularly with some Asian languages. Interesting. I maintained a couple of Emacs libraries (dictionaries and input methods) for Japanese in XEmacs, and while hyphen-separated mixtures of ASCII and Japanese are common, I don't recall ever seeing an identifier with ASCII and Japanese glommed together without a separator. It was almost always of the form "English verb - Japanese lexical component". Or do you consider that "relatively complicated"? > It might be time for the documentation to mention a specific > linter/configuration that does this.

I would guess that for code that uses it at all, it would be common. So the warnings would likely make those tools somewhere between really annoying and unusable. _______________________________________________ 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/FPO3EJISKDZUVMC3RMJJQZIKGCOG35CX/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
