Nathaniel Smith added the comment: Doh, apparently I did once know about issue23726 and then forgot. Good catch.
Technically we could add a __class__ field to ModuleType directly, but I think then the ModuleType __class__ setter would basically need to be an exact reimplementation of everything that object_set_class already does? (Since it would still need to check that this particular ModuleType subclass was layout-compatible etc. -- e.g. no new __slots__.) And the end result would behave identically to the patch I just posted, except we'd replace a 2 line check in typeobject.c with some really complicated and bug-prone code in moduleobject.c? I don't think it buys us anything. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24912> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
