Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Let's not do this. This approach is not sufficiently backwards compatible; it will break any code that uses isinstance(x, file). Even though that's not forward compatible with 3.0, it works in 2.5 and before, so it should not break in 2.6. Together with my previous remark this means that we should just not mess with this.
(PS: I don't understand what you say about distutils.text_file -- from your patch it looks like the only way it can issue this warning is if it actually calls the file() builtin...) ---------- resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2374> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
