New submission from Abe Leite <abrahamjle...@gmail.com>:
The following code produces unexpected behavior in all versions of Python I have tested. >>> class a: ... def method(self): pass >>> inst = a() >>> inst.method is inst.method False It appears that id(inst.method) changes each time inst.method is accessed by normal means. So the tuple (id(inst.method), id(inst.method)) will have the same item repeated, but the tuple (id(inst.method), inst.method, id(inst.method)) will not. Note that for unbound methods and other functions, this issue does not occur. This creates a transparency issue for bound instance methods taking the place of functions. My apologies if this is a design decision that has already been resolved! It just seemed like a strange behavior to me. --Abe ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 337063 nosy: Abe Leite priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Identity of bound methods type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36175> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
