Daniel Urban added the comment: Yes, if we would add a regular (instance) method __init_class__ to type, it could (probably) work for regular (non-meta) classes, but not for metaclasses. If a metaclass Meta wouldn't define __init_class__ itself, calling Meta.__init_class__() in __build_class__ wouldn't work, since Meta would inherit the *instance* method from type (its superclass). We might be able to make this work somehow (I'm not sure), but I think adding it to object as a classmethod works fine, and doesn't require special casing.
The attached patch documents, that object has an __init_class__ (and also adds some extra tests). I'll attach a patch to the PEP as well. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29101/pep422_5.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17044> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
