The "weakproxy" type currently supports every single "PyNumberMethods" slot *except* matrix multiplication: see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/bf94cc7b496a379e1f604aa2e4080bb70ca4020e/Objects/weakrefobject.c#L610-L645 It seems likely that this was an unintentional omission when matrix multiplication was added. I can't think of any good reason to support all but one (well, two, including the in-place method) of those PyNumberMethods. Supporting all of them gives a (conceptually) smaller, simpler object. I think this is a consistency bug that should be fixed. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36669> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
