I've expressed this one before as "class someclass(reopen(someclass)):", but have thankfully never needed to actually use that in a real program. It's been a helpful tool in explaining to overzealous Ruby-ists that "reopenable" classes are not as unique as they think. My feelings on monkeypatching is that it *should* feel a little gross when you have to do it, so the code I've written that does monkeypatching for real is generally a bit ugly. _______________________________________________ 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
