Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Terry, if you'd like to continue that discussion, please open a new enhancement request for 3.8+ against the inspect module asking for the affected introspection functions to recursively search for relevant attributes, the same way `inspect.signature` digs inside different object types to look for signature information.
However, the fact the inspect module doesn't implement that search for relevant attributes today is *not* a bug - it's a past design decision that could potentially stand to be revisited. By contrast, the fact the affected functions throw AttributeError instead of returning False for a missing attribute *is* a bug. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33261> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
