It's been sometime since I looked at this issue. The main sticking point is passing unittests, and ensuring that there are no backward compatibility issues. But, since FileType is a standalone class, anyone could put a corrected version in their own workspace without modifying their stock version. The 'type' parameter is designed for this kind of flexibility - it accepts any callable, whether a function, or a class with a __call__ method. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue14156> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
