Hadn't thought of that one! Since __dict__ is widely advertised as being, well, a dict, it may be harder to enforce this for __dict__ instances of other objects. I'd like to tighten the rules here too, but only if it actually helps Python implementations other than CPython. -- --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
