Rev 2.66 of funcobject.c made func.__name__ writable for the first time. That's great, but the patch also introduced what I'm pretty sure was an unintended incompatibility: after 2.66, func.__name__ was no longer *readable* in restricted execution mode. I can't think of a good reason to restrict reading func.__name__, and it looks like this part of the change was an accident. So, unless someone objects soon, I intend to restore that func.__name__ is readable regardless of execution mode (but will continue to be unwritable in restricted execution mode).
Objections? Tres Seaver filed a bug report (some Zope tests fail under 2.4 because of this): http://www.python.org/sf/1124295 _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
