Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: Add notes to the manual about `is` and methods Initial Comment: This patch, made against svn revision 42105, adds caveats to Doc/ref/ref3.tex concerning the use of the `is` operator in conjunction with class- and instance-methods. As I was recently bitten by trying to do the equivalent of """ >>> MyClass.a_class_method is MyClass.a_class_method False >>> """ I thought the manual might benefit from coverage of this as-yet-undocumented area. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2006-01-21 10:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 I'm not really sure this patch is a good idea. It seems over-specific to one particular pitfall. Maybe instead warning stickers should be attached to the description of the 'is' operator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1410739&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
