R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: I somehow missed the fact that B was a dispatcher subclass. Too early in my morning, I guess.
So, I think the title of this issue should be "asyncore.dispatcher's __repr__ not being used as fallback for __str__", and your speculation looks likely to be on target, as Giampaolo says. Unfortunately, even if forwarding everything to the socket is questionable, it would probably be a really bad idea to change it, since there is likely code in the field depending on this behavior. The specific case of __str__ could be fixed by adding an __str__ to dispatcher, and that would be a lot less likely to break anything other than perhaps the odd doctest here and there (but that would mean it still shouldn't be changed in 2.6). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
