New submission from Pascal Chambon <[email protected]>:
It seems we can't assign attributes to "objet" class instances, which don't
have a __dict__ :
IDLE 2.6.4
>>> a = object()
>>> a.abc = 3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
a.abc = 3
AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'abc'
>>>
This behaviour seems undocumented, and contradicts the documentation on
AttributeError -> normally, a TypeError should be raised instead:
exception AttributeError
Raised when an attribute reference (see Attribute references) or assignment
fails. (When an object does not support attribute references or attribute
assignments at all, TypeError is raised.)
