New submission from Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard:
Currently the first lines in PyObject_IsSubClass are:
/* We know what type's __subclasscheck__ does. */
if (PyType_CheckExact(cls)) {
/* Quick test for an exact match */
if (derived == cls)
return 1;
return recursive_issubclass(derived, cls);
}
The if (derived == cls) runs only if PyType_CheckExact is True which doesn't
hold for any classes with a custom metaclass. As a result, a check of the form
issubclass(Sequence, Sequence) will take a slow path that invokes
__subclasscheck__.
I'm not sure if this was placed inside there due to some wild edge-case,
though. PyObject_IsInstance uses the same trick and does so outside the if
(PyType_CheckExact(cls)) check.
I'll gladly submit a PR if this indeed needs fixing and not by design.
