New submission from Nan Wu: >>> import types >>> a = 1 >>> isinstance(a, types.InstanceType) False >>> class A: ... pass ... >>> a = A() >>> isinstance(a, types.InstanceType) True >>> class A(object): ... pass ... >>> a = A() >>> isinstance(a, types.InstanceType) False
Looks like isinstance(instance, types.InstanceType) only return True for user-defined old-style class instance. If it's the case, I feel doc should clarify that like what types.ClassType did. If no, someone please close this request. Thanks. ---------- files: doc_InstanceType_is_for_old_style_cls.patch keywords: patch messages: 263338 nosy: Nan Wu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: types.InstanceType only for old style class only in 2.7 type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42456/doc_InstanceType_is_for_old_style_cls.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26747> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
