New issue 2464: getset_descriptor cannot access `__objclass__` https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2464/getset_descriptor-cannot-access
Mike McKerns: It looks like a getset_descriptor has an `__objclass__` (as seen with `dir`), but it's not available as an attribute. `__objclass__` is very useful in maintaining a pointer to the descriptor's class. For example, given an `__objclass__` attribute, one could pickle a descriptor... and thus make a broader class of objects available to multiprocessing, parallel, and distributed computing. (I'm the `dill` author, and this is a huge blocker for people using `pypy` + `dill`) ``` #!python >>>> class _d(object): .... def _method(self): .... pass .... >>>> d = _d.__dict__['__dict__'] >>>> d <getset_descriptor object at 0x0000000104d4b3f0> >>>> dir(d) ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__delete__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__get__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__name__', '__new__', '__objclass__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__set__', '__setattr__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__'] >>>> d.__objclass__ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: generic property has no __objclass__ ``` Can the `__objclass__` attribute be made available as a pointer to the descriptor's class? It seems like a bug that `__objclass__` is missing. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
