It is an implementation detail that some people need to know, and that is very unlikely to change. In the pydev thread, Guido said " My feeling is that limiting it to strings is fine, but checking those strings for resembling identifiers is pointless and wasteful." We occasionally document such things in a 'CPython implementation detail' note. I don't know the proper markup for these. At present, I think the note should be in setattr and **kwargs docs. |
