I would generally agree with you, except that when monkey patching instances... self.method = new.instancemethod(other.method.im_func, self, self.__class__) ... is a bit more understandable than... self.metbod = type(other.method)(other.method.im_func, self, self.__class__) ... at least in the examples that I've seen. Never mind that new is documented in the standard library documentation, but the types are not. - Josiah _______________________________________________ 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
