This looks like a new/old class thing. Presumably once everything is changed over to new-style classes, this inconsistency will go away. And from the current behaviour, it looks like __class__ and __bases__ will be bypassed by isinstance() (unless Guido decides to change that). -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiem! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
