I wouldn't bet my life on that. __getitem__ overloading for all sorts of nefarious purposes has quite a following. I'd prefer a message that doesn't get into what x "is" but sticks to the point at hand, which is that it doesn't support __getitem__. -- --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
