[Python-Dev] PEP-317

Mon, 9 Jun 2003 00:43:42 -0400

I'm +0 on finally deprecating the string exceptions.
But am -1000 on eliminating implicit instantiation before Py3.0.
Right after writing:
 "In short, implicit instantiation has no advantages other than backwards
 compatibility ..."
I think it would only be fair to add:
 "If this proposal is adopted, nearly every piece of non-trivial python
 code that has ever been written would need to be revised or would
 fail to run. Likewise, most tutorial and book examples would also
 fail."
