The problem doesn't just happen with `sys.flags`, though. It happens with all types that can't be created directly by python. Ex: frame objects, generators, cells, etc. The bug is that in types whose c-level tp_new is null, the python-level __new__ is inherited from the superclass (and since object defines a `__new__`, such a function always exists), instead of being defined to always raise an error, like calling the type directly does. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34284> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
