Got it. Thanks for the details. I understand the change in behavior since it was added as part of https://bugs.python.org/issue33974 after 3.7.0 but I don't know if this should be classified as a regression or as a bug fix after a stable release. This was merged to master, 3.7, 3.6 and 2.7 branches. https://bugs.python.org/issue33974#msg320663 also states that it needs a more  a complex fix. I don't know the policy and I will leave it to @serhiy.storchaka to decide if it's a regression or a bug fix.

Thanks
