I don't think changing a function signature in an incompatible way is
generally acceptable. You might make one of the arguments optional,
though (but keeping the current semantics when the argument *is*
passed). If it's not possible, you can add another function with the
intended behaviour.
The importlib bootstrapping has already had some (unavoidable)
disruptive consequences. Let's keep them to a minimum. People *rely* on
our APIs, even the less popular ones. |
