Ooh, I could see that leading to some weird diagnostics. For example:
class Foo:
def __add__(self, other):
raise Exception
__radd__ = __add__
f1 = Foo()
print 1 + f1
produces:
./add.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./add.py", line 11, in <module>
print 1 + f1
File "./add.py", line 5, in __add__
raise Exception
Exception
which leaves the user wondering why __add__() was called when clearly
__radd__() should have been. The way Westley wrote it (modulo fixing
the __add__() call signature) produces:
./add.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./add.py", line 11, in <module>
print 1 + f1
File "./add.py", line 8, in __radd__
return self.__add__(other)
File "./add.py", line 5, in __add__
raise Exception
Exception
which at least is a stack trace that shows that __radd__() was called.
