Ryan Freckleton <ryan.freckle...@gmail.com> added the comment: I think that registering existing functions is an important use case, so I vote for keeping the non-decorator version of register.
Another thing that we may want to document is that [simple]generic doesn't dispatch based on registered abstract base classes. >>> class A: ... pass ... >>> class C: ... __metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta ... >>> C.register(A) >>> @generic ... def pprint(obj): ... print str(obj) ... >>> @pprint.register(C) ... def pprint_C(obj): ... print "Charlie", obj ... >>> pprint(C()) Charlie <__main__.C object at 0xb7c5336c> >>> pprint(A()) <__main__.A instance at 0xb7c5336c> _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
