Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: As to the rationale for having it in the standard library: it's because of the coupling with the implementation of the type() builtin. If a new slot is added to type() that the interpreter may access without consulting __getattribute__, then ProxyMixin can be updated to correctly delegate that slot. If alternate implementations such as Jython or IronPython have additional such slots, they can also provide their own version of ProxyMixin.
If ProxyMixin doesn't become the development responsibility of the same group that is responsible for the implementation of the type object then it may as well not exist (since it can't be trusted to be kept up to date with the development process). ____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue643841> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
