[Jython-bugs] [Bug #125440] Minor nit: "as" not recognised as valid function argument

[<no...@so...>]

Bug #125440, was updated on 2000-Dec-11 21:45
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Jython
Category: Core
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Submitted by: nickm

Summary: Minor nit: "as" not recognised as valid function argument

Details: Although python2.0 introduces "as" as a keyword, it allows it to appear where it would ordinarily be acceptable, as in:

def fn(as): as = as + 1; return as
fn(as=3)
class as: pass

This feature allows for backward compatibility with code written for earlier versions of python.  I actually have some such code

Jython (as in CVS as of 12 Dec 2000) does not allow this.  I believe that adding it would be as simple as replacing the declaration for Name
in python.jjt to allow <AS> as an alternative for <NAME>, but I haven't tried this out myself, due to unfamiliarity with the codebase.
