Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Armin Rigo (arigo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Bypassing __dict__ readonlyness Initial Comment: The __dict__ attribute of some objects is read-only, e.g. for type objects. However, there is a generic way to still access and modify it (without hacking with gc.get_referrents(), that is). This can lead to obscure crashes. Attached is an example that shows a potential "problem" involving putting strange keys in the __dict__ of a type. This is probably very minor anyway. If we wanted to fix this, we would need a __dict__ descriptor that looks more cleverly at the object to which it is applied. BTW the first person who understand why the attached program crashes gets a free coffee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1303614&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
