Message250752
For the sake of folks writing single-source code, and needing to support Python 2.7 for at least as long as we're supporting it upstream, I believe it would be beneficial to have consistency here.
For those that didn't follow the Fedora/RHEL issue chain, the original Fedora 19 bug report was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917709 and the corresponding "won't fix" upstream issue was issue 17748.
Unfortunately, in addition to only helping in a subset of cases, the workaround we applied also extends the affected APIs in an undocumented way that's incompatible with the Python 3 changes to the same API, so I've suggested that regardless of the verdict upstream, we should bring the API extension into line with Python 3 downstream. |
