In case you missed the final result, that turned out to be wrong too: format(object, "") dies when you do it that way. We debugged this very same issue about a year ago, and that's where the _PyType_Lookup call was found to be the solution. GetAttr should only be used for classic class instances (PyInstance_Check()). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
