New submission from Sérgio Surkamp <ser...@gruposinternet.com.br>: The type function returns inconsistent value depending on class hierarchy.
>>> class X: ... pass ... >>> x = X() >>> type(x) <type 'instance'> >>> class Y(object): ... pass ... >>> x = Y() >>> type(x) <class '__main__.Y'> >>> >>> class Z(X): ... pass ... >>> x = Z() >>> type(x) <type 'instance'> >>> class K(Y): ... pass ... >>> x = K() >>> type(x) <class '__main__.K'> All should reply 'instance'. As long as I have read on documentation the only way to change the type function return is by writing a __metaclass__ (PEP3115). ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 95670 nosy: surkamp severity: normal status: open title: inconsistent type return type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
