No, I don't think it's appropriate at all. You are conflating two things: - the instance lookup of an attribute (on A, here) - the class lookup when the instance lookup fails (on type, here) Both lookups obey the same MRO rules, it just happens that the second lookup uses a trivial MRO: >>> type.__mro__ (<class 'type'>, <class 'object'>) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
