pya.Cursor.None bug?

I was looking at the list of available functions to pya.Cursor

I noticed "None" was part of it and I assume it should make no cursor visible however, there is an issue when compiling (pya.Cursor.None),

It seems to be a conflict with standard python empty variable?

    Still adding a piece of code:

    pya.Cursor.Cross #compile without issue
pya.Cursor.None #syntax error
  • jonathanjonathan

    Answering partially my own question:

    to make the Cursor not visible we can use

    pya.Cursor.Blank

    Why 'None' is listed in the available functions to pya.Cursor is not so clear however

    Hi jonathan,

    "None" was intended to reset the cursor to the application default, not make it invisible. But for Python, "None" is a reserved word, so this is not available :-(

    I'll give a different name (i.e. "Default") and leave "None" only for backward compatibility. Here is the ticket: https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/386
