This question was raised by Mark Shannon on python-dev. Actually, my initial implementation did exactly this, but I didn't like it for two reasons: 1. dir(type) is already very long, I don't want to make it even longer. 2. Some users may be surprised that although ``type.__getitem__`` is defined, ``int[something]`` will rise "TypeError: type object is not subscriptable" Mark however disappeared since then, so I don't know what is his current opinion. I am however not as sure about this now. If there are some arguments for this, then I can revert to the older approach (implementing ``type.__getitem__``). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32226> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
