Yes, that's a bit of a problem. Or rather, it's not really a problem, because object doesn't provide any methods of its own, so having it at the top of every class hierarchy doesn't cause any problems in practice. But any mechanism that tried to enforce a ban on diamond inheritance would need to treat it as a special case. I'm not really advocating an enforced ban, because there are cases where it can be made to work with sufficient care. But I do think it should be regarded as a do-it- at-your-own-risk kind of thing, and not to be generally encouraged. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
