I may not be the first to mistakenly write class Foo(ABCMeta):
when I meant to write class Foo(metaclass=ABCMeta): but I'm sure I won't be the last. Sorry for the mistake... Maybe attempting to register an ABCMeta subclass might lead to a more informative warning though? ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [Python-3000] abc docs Date: 2007-09-05 From: Mark Summerfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: python-3000@python.org [snip] BTW When I tried a variation of one of the ABC examples from the PEP I got this: Python 3.0a1 (py3k, Sep 1 2007, 08:25:11) [GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import abc >>> class MyABC(abc.ABCMeta): pass ... >>> MyABC.register(tuple) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in __instancecheck__ [snip] I hope that the first one is a bug rather than intended. -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd., www.qtrac.eu ------------------------------------------------------- -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd., www.qtrac.eu _______________________________________________ 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
