Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I think you're reading too much into the docs. Most useful classes provide a __new__ or __init__ to put data into instances. The docs are simply saying that that responsibility lies with the implementer rather than with the ABC.
IMO, the docs are more useful as-is. Were we to accept the patch, it wouldn't be long before another user reported a bug saying that the implemented the other methods but the class didn't do anything useful. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27215> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
