The __subclasscheck__ method of ABCMeta contains the following code: # Check if it's a subclass of a registered class (recursive) for rcls in cls._abc_registry: if issubclass(subclass, rcls): cls._abc_registry.add(subclass) return True
It looks to me like this code will result in an unnecessary call to cls._abc_registry.add() in the case that "subclass" is already in cls._abc_registry. It looks like the code should be preceded with something like: if subclass in cls._abc_registry: return True -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ _______________________________________________ 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
