# cheap inheritance, used to pass all other attribute # references to the underlying socket object. def __getattr__(self, attr): return getattr(self.socket, attr) I wonder why this has been added in the first place. It also causes confusing error messages when accessing undefined attributes: >>> class B(asyncore.dispatcher): ... def __init__(self, *args): ... asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self, *args) ... >>> b = B() >>> b.blabla Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/asyncore.py", line 394, in __getattr__ return getattr(self.socket, attr) AttributeError: '_socketobject' object has no attribute 'blabla' >>> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8483> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
