Description
Currently the staticfiles finders' find
function has a paramter all
which is also a built-in function. Personally, I consider using built-ins as parameters/variables to be bad form, and would usually just rename the parameter in my subclasses. Unfortunately, find
is explicitly called with all=all
in django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.find()
. So, to use the built in all()
one needs to use from __builtin__ import all as all_
.
There are probably more examples throughout the codebase, but this is the one I've run into.
