I'm glad when language quirks and libraries get linked, it's good for discussion. (And more informative than a good third of the stuff that gets linked.)
- drgath 15y agoI came here with the same question. Considering I come from PHP & JavaScript where the native APIs are awful, wrapping is a necessary step for sanity. Interesting that Python didn't have this until now.
- lukeschlather 15y agoPython has always had it to some degree, but merging these sorts of things into the core language is what major releases are for. No language is perfect. I think the reason you see this upvoted so much is there are so many Python programmers who want to see this on the roadmap for future versions of Python (and it probably will be.)
