Option 1 is to fix the regression in the 2.7/3.2 Python versions and change the C version to conform to the doc and older Python versions., even though it is the wrong error, and even though Python asserts disappear with -O (which is why it is the wrong error).
Option 2 is to leave cET alone with the correct error and fix 2.7/3.2 and the docs to conform.
Option 3 is to leave cET alone and leave 2.7/3.2 alone as done deals, even if bad. Change 3.3 Python and docs to TypeError. We would need a version-changed note, but perhaps should mention the 3.2 behavior so as to not give a mis-impression.
I think I favor 3, but after presenting the trilemma on pydev. |
