Um, copy.copy(), pprint.pprint(), a bunch of functions in pkgutil which are actually *based on this implementation already* and have been since Python 2.5... I don't see how any of those are contrived examples. If we'd had this in already, all the registration-based functions for copying, pickling, etc. would likely have been implemented this way, and the motivating example for the PEP is the coming refactoring of pprint.pprint. _______________________________________________ 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
