I closed the issue (it's already been rejected), primarily based on > a.__index__ = <whatever> is an unauthorized use of a *reserved* word and the > effect of such usage is not and need not be documented. > The entry for __*__ does include "*Any* use of __*__ names, in any context, > that does not follow explicitly documented use, is subject to breakage > without warning." To me, that says that the effect of the reserved-word > assignment is undefined. It could be made to raise an exception. It's like filing a bug report for UB in C. ---------- stage: needs patch -> resolved status: pending -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31042> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
