It certainly *is* a possible definition, but you can get essentially that behaviour using new.instancemethod, so a new descriptor isn't necessary for that case. The suggested descriptor was to get an alternate behaviour which injected the automatically supplied self argument at the start of the list of positional arguments.

RE: [Python-Dev] Re: PEP 754
[After a long delay, the thread continues] Hi All, I'm pushing ahead on the tasks necessary to add the 'fcponst' module described in PEP 754: IEEE 754 Floating Point Special Values. Per http://www.python.org/psf/contrib, I've - Changed the license to the Apache License, Version 2.0 - Just faxed the Contributor Agreement to the PSF I've also - created a patch on sourceforge.net for fpconst code and documentation (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1151323group_id=5 470atid=305470) I will need help connecting the included test functions into the python test suite. What else needs to be done to allow fpconst to go into the Python library? -Greg -Original Message- From: Tim Peters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 1:43 PM To: Warnes, Gregory R; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Python-Dev] Re: PEP 754 [Warnes, Gregory R] Hi David Tim, First, I really like to see this go forward. The fpconst module is getting alot of use across the net, and it would be very useful to finally get it into the standard python library. What needs to be done to move forward? Looks to me like exactly the same stuff as was needed before. Guido needs to pronounce on it. It needs a patch on SourceForge, adding the new module, new docs, and a test suite run by Python's standard regrtest.py. The non-PSF copyright and license remain problematic. That last should be easier to deal with after the PSF approves a Contributor Agreement (probably within a month), but will be a show-stopper if Pfizer won't contribute the module under the terms of the Contributor Agreement (which can't be answered now by anyone, since the Contributor Agreement doesn't exist yet).

[Python-Dev] Re: [Python Dev] PEP 309
Overall, I have no major objections to the PEP or the patch. Before it goes in on auto-pilot, it would be darned nice if the proponents said that they've found it helpful in real code and that they are satisfied with the timings. I guess darned nice is the best you can hope for. Not sure if Peter Harris is still around. Regards, Martin Yes, I'm still lurking, slightly aghast that my little PEP is getting such ferocious scrutiny. I would have like some of that in time for it to go into 2.4, but I suppose you should be careful what you wish for. I'll answer a few points from this thread, in no particular order: My original desire was a built-in, but it was suggested that the first step would be a Python implementation in the standard library to try it out. That was the basis for the PEP, and in fact a C implementation would have been beyond my expertise. However, I sympathise with anyone who feels unhappy about a new module just for what amounts to one function. I'd be happy to go back to the built-in, now someone cleverer than I am has written one. Sorry I can't rememeber your name, whoever you are. I'm having trouble with my e-mails. I was never too bothered about efficiency, and still am not. For me it was always primarily a way to save typing or build call-back functions on the fly. The discussion about using it to make instancemethods and classmethods -- way over my head! I would count that as something weird enough to be worth spelling out in plain Python, in my code anyway. The PEP was scattered over a few patches because I wasn't too sure how to go about it, so there was my Python module, the C implementation, the unit tests and the docs all in separate patches. 3/4 of that was my fault - sorry! Once the PEP had been accepted, I didn't like to mess with it, which is why I went quiet for a while. It's gone past the point where I can personally contribute much, so I'd just like to say thanks and I look forward to the day when I can just use it.

Peter Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: However, I sympathise with anyone who feels unhappy about a new module just for what amounts to one function. Well, since it seems that the emphasis in Python development is now moving more towards expanding the standard library, a module that has only one function now might grow more functions in the not so distant future, so I have to say that I'm on the side of not being unhappy with the added module. (I'm also secretly hoping that map, filter, reduce, etc. will be moved to the functional module in the future, maybe in Python 3.0. But that's probably just my love for list comprehensions and generator expressions speaking.) ;-) Steve -- You can wordify anything if you just verb it. --- Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy ___ 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
