R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: This issue was discussed two years ago in this thread:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-December/588224.html Most of the messages under that subject are noise about politeness or lack thereof (including a post by the submitter of this issue trying to get people to be reasonable!), but an actual patch was posted as well: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-December/588377.html The patch addresses only one object type, but does demonstrate a pattern that might be usable in general. A concern was raised about the generality of the function proposed, as well as the performance implications of calling it. I have not tried to apply the patch to the current trunk, but from a quick look it doesn't seem like the source has changed much. Since the problem turns out to be a lot less trivial than it seems like it should be, the patch is a good reference in any case. ---------- nosy: +bitdancer _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
