It's possible that there is code out there that for some reason adds private attributes to an SSLContext instance, and using __slots__ would break such usage. (They could perhaps fix their code by using a dummy subclass, but that could well become a non-trivial change to their code, depending on where they get their SSLContext instances.) So unless there's evidence that nobody does that, we're stuck with the status quo. I'm adding Christian Heimes to the thread in case he has a hunch either way. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-change-the-world/>
