I'm going to decline this one. * It is arguable whether or not this behavior should have been designed in originally. However, changing it now is risky (as noted by Brett and Ethan). * Personally, I disagree with the notion of allowing a partial pass through. That seems hazardous and error-prone to me. It is easier to reason about data descriptors being all or nothing. I like that AttributeError is raised while still allowing me to add the missing methods if I want to explicitly define some other behavior. * This has been open for 9 months and no one else stepped forward to champion it. * For two decades, no one has complained that the current behavior got in the way of what they were trying to do. That provides some evidence that there isn't a real world problem to be solved. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
