I'm +0; I think it's a nice little addition that could be useful, but I don't care enough to wait for 3.4 to delete similar code in a my own programs. To bikeshed though: why was `ignored` changed to `ignore`? The former reads better to me, and I don't think *that* particular change was discussed at all in the tracker afaict. -Barry _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
