But __all__ is a dunder name, and dunders are reserved for use by Python. I don't know what the author of the class thought they were doing, but they shouldn't have been using __all__ for it, hence the idea of a warning. But it probably isn't practical to keep a white list of permitted dunders and warn about those that any others. -- Steve _______________________________________________ code-quality mailing list code-quality@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/code-quality
