Except that "unsupported" is even more wrong, because it makes it look like that these methods are not supported by the respective ABCs. Actually, what happens is that the default implementations are stubs. If those methods weren't "supported" at all they wouldn't be defined in the first place. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10589> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
