[New-bugs-announce] [issue18656] setting function.__name__ doesn't affect repr()

[Guido van Rossum]

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

In Python 3.2 and earlier:

>>> def f(): pass
...
>>> f.__name__ = 'g'
>>> f
<function g at 0x100487628>

However in Python 3.3 and later, the last line shows 'f' instead of 'g'.
