I tried to bump http://bugs.python.org/issue643841 ("New class special
method lookup change") up to release blocker, but the bug tracker still
appears to be a bit flaky (it keeps giving me an error when I try to
submit the change - unfortunately I can't submit anything about it to
the metatracker, because I've forgotten my password for it and the
metatracker is getting a connection refused when it tries to send the
reminder email :P).
Here's the comment I was trying to submit along with the bug priority
change:
"""Bumping the priority on this to release blocker for 3.0 - I think we
need to have a good answer for the folks who've written old-style
__getattr__ based auto-delegating classes before removing old-style
classes entirely in 3.0.
We could get away with ignoring the issue in the past because people had
the option of just using an old-style class rather than having to deal
with the difficulties of doing this with a new-style class. With 3.0,
that approach is being eliminated.
A ProxyMixin class written in Python would address that need (and
shouldn't be particularly hard to write), but I'm not sure where it
would go in the standard library."""
Cheers,
Nick.
