Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Jim doesn't propose to remove fast test, it proposes to add a test for fast path for avoiding invoking __subclasscheck__ (this is slow). This can change semantic, but isinstance() already contains such fast path.
This is similar to testing "elem is seq[i]" before "elem == seq[i]" when search in sequences. This optimization changes semantic for NaNs. Does a "Not-A-Class" class which is not a subclass of itself (issubclass(C, C) returns False) makes any sense? ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30230> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
