Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Recursive partial objects are legitimate. Here is a patch that makes partial's repr to support recursive partial objects. Also added a test for pickling.
Cases for Element and file-like objects are questionable. Recursive Element.tag and TextIOWrapper.name don't make a sense, and I don't think we should special support (and encourage) these cases. To avoid stack overflow we can add a restriction for tag to be str or None, but file's name attribute can be dynamic. We can omit name from repr if it is not None, str, bytes or int. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40932/partial_recursive_repr.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25455> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
