I don't think the description you give is very accurate. The description in the file splat.py says: "Hangs/core dumps Python2 when instantiated" (which is it? hang or core dump?) but I can't replicate that. Instantiating A() is fine for me. (Tested in Python 2.7 on Linux.) The whole business about "splat" is amusing but irrelevant. I can replicate the hang (no core dump) using this simpler example: class B: def __getattr__(self, name): return name in dir(self) Instantiating the class is fine, but calling dir() on it locks up: >>> b = B() >>> dir(b) [1]+ Stopped python2.7 -E (after typing Ctrl-Z in the xterm). Notice that B is an old-style class in this example. The same behaviour also occurs when inheriting from object. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34346> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
