New submission from Chris Jerdonek <[email protected]>:
Currently, the subdirs attribute of filecmp.dircmp does not respect subclassing:
>>> from filecmp import dircmp
>>> class MyDirCmp(dircmp):
... pass
...
>>> my_dcmp = MyDirCmp('dir1', 'dir2')
>>> for item in my_dcmp.subdirs.values():
... print(type(item))
... break
...
<class 'filecmp.dircmp'>
This is the only place where dircmp does not respect subclassing. It can be
corrected here:
def phase4(self): # Find out differences between common subdirectories
...
...
self.subdirs[x] = dircmp(a_x, b_x, self.ignore, self.hide)
This would let one do things like override dircmp.report() and have
dircmp.report_full_closure() behave as expected.
