New submission from Vincent Besanceney: In: https://docs.python.org/2.7/reference/datamodel.html#customizing-attribute-access
Regarding the description of __setattr__ method: "For new-style classes, rather than accessing the instance dictionary, it should call the base class method with the same name, for example, object.__setattr__(self, name, value)." Wouldn't it be more consistent for new-style classes, instead of calling "object.__setattr__(self, name, value)", to call "super(<ClassName>, self).__setattr__(name, value)"? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 221082 nosy: docs@python, vincentbesanceney priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: object.__setattr__ or super(...).__setattr__? type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21814> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
