Thanks to everyone for the explanations.
I was hoping for behaviour along the lines of Python 2 (certainly not artificially blocking more cases in the name of consistency) but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I think this is one slight and rare area where Python 3 has taken a step backwards when compared to Python 2 but I can live with it. As noted there's other ways to achieve the same thing.
The new Python 3 behaviour seems odd to me but perhaps that's just a bias due to many years of development with Python 2. A documentation improvement would help.
Thanks. |
