Trying again the following email, don't know if the list received it..
<rant>Who wrote translator_proto.py and the rest of the builtin's? And
what about comments on the code, so someone can understand what is
happening?</rant>
--------------------------------
Anyone,
in pyjs/builtin/_pyjs.js, in function $pyjs__class_instance(class_name,
module_name), does anyone knows what is the purpose of this piece of code?
if (cls_fn.__number__ !== null) {
instance = cls_fn.__new__.apply(null, [cls_fn, arguments[0]]);
args = arguments;
}
For what I've been able to understand, the function $pyjs__class_instance is
called when the class is being defined and also
when an object of a certain class is being created.
But if cls_fn.__number (as Luke said) is there to identify classes which are
instances of numbers, so this piece of code is saying something like "If you
are an instance of a subclass of a number, only your first
argument matters", correct?
But that is not true at all! If I do something like:
if (cls_fn.__number__ !== null&& 1==0) {
instance = cls_fn.__new__.apply(null, [cls_fn, arguments[0]]);
args = arguments;
}
this piece of code is never called and the arguments pass alright and
everything works fine again, as far as I could test..
Anyone knows something about this?!
Thanks,
João Ventura
