This is not as bad as having someone set __class__ on one of my instances, or set attributes on my type, etc.
Is there any real need to prevent someone from doing those things? Note that even when you are allowed to change the __class__ of an instance, you're still prevented from changing it to something that has a different C layout, so you can't crash the intepreter that way. Similarly, built-in methods check that they're given an object of appropriate type at the C level. My suggestion is to just let it be a full heap type and accept whatever consequences follow. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
