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: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Žiga Seilnacht (zseil) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Move initial args assignment to BaseException.__new__ Initial Comment: Pickling exceptions fails when an Exception class requires an argument in the constructor, but doesn't call its base class' constructor. See this mail for details: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-April/072416.html This patch simply moves initial args assignment to BaseException.__new__. This should fix most of the problems, because it is very unlikely that an exception overwrites the __new__ method; exceptions used to be old style classes, which don't support the __new__ special method. The args attribute is still overwritten in all the __init__ methods, so there shouldn't be any backward compatibility problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1692335&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
