Adding serhiy.storchaka to nosy list since it looks like he introduced the isinstance check on purpose (see bpo-23741). Though bpo-23741 asserts that no behavior was changed with the patch applied then, reading through the change leads me to think this did change for cases like the MyDict example from iritkatriel. The intent of the original code was that MyDict.__repr__ would be used; only the small handful of "known" reprs would be handled specially. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39994> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
