Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: It would be broken in the same way that it was broken in 2.7.1 though. That can be a plus when it comes to maintenance releases.
OTOH, this does turn a silent failure (__dir__() ignored on old-style classes) into a noisy failure (must return a list). If you make Barry's classes new-style, they break in 2.7.1 as well, so I'm coming around to a point of view that this is a legitimate fix that reveals a real bug in third party code (i.e. anyone that hits this had a __dir__ that previously wasn't getting invoked) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12248> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
