New submission from Marty Alchin <ma...@martyalchin.com>: PEP 3115 introduced keyword arguments to class definitions and changed metaclasses to use them instead. Unfortunately, `type()` doesn't seem to have been updated to accept those keyword arguments as well. What this amounts to is that using `type()` as a constructor can no longer fully replicate the behavior of a class definition. Therefore, classes that use keyword arguments can't be created dynamically.
I would attempt a patch, but I don't have a development environment capable of compiling Python, so I wouldn't have any chance to test it. ---------- messages: 145190 nosy: gulopine priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Using type() as a constructor doesn't support new class keyword arguments type: feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
