New submission from Shane Harvey: This line in copyreg._slotnames does not properly calculate mangled attribute names: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.6.2/Lib/copyreg.py#L131
The problem is that it does not strip leading underscores from the class name: >>> class _LeadingUnderscoreClassName(object): ... __slots__ = ("__bar",) ... >>> import copy_reg >>> copy_reg._slotnames(_LeadingUnderscoreClassName) ['__LeadingUnderscoreClassName__bar'] The result is that copy, pickle, and anything else that relies on _slotnames() do not work on classes with leading underscores and private __slots__. This bug is present in all versions of Python. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 299665 nosy: Shane Harvey priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: copyreg does not properly mangle __slots__ names type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31107> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
