Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Attached patch (issue2516poc.diff) presents proof-of-concept code which changes the problematic reporting as follows:
>>> a.f(1,2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: <A object>.f() takes exactly 0 arguments (2 given) More effort is needed to make this patch ready: support default/keyword arguments, respect English grammar in 1-argument case, etc. Before I do that, however, I would like to hear that this is a worthwhile fix and that I've chosen the right place in the code to implement it. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9908/issue2516poc.diff __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2516> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
