New submission from Taldor <tinu...@skynet.be>: Calling the unicode function on a proxy object, doesn't use the proxi-ed object's __unicode__ method, but its __str__ method.
>>> class A(object): ... def __str__(self): ... return "str" ... def __unicode__(self): ... return "unicode" ... >>> a = A() >>> unicode(a) u'unicode' >>> import weakref >>> b = weakref.proxy(a) >>> unicode(b) u'str' I expected the last result to be u'unicode'. I did get u'unicode' in Python 2.5 (but not in 2.6). ---------- components: None messages: 80416 nosy: Taldor severity: normal status: open title: unexpected unicode behavior for proxy objects type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5037> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
