Still, it would be really nice to be able to introspect a class's instance attributes at run-time. A stdlib helper for that would be great, e.g. "inspect.get_inst_attrs(cls)". At one point a few years back I wrote something like that derived from the signature of cls.__init__() and in the spirit of inspect.signature(). It turned out to be quite useful. Relatedly, it may make sense to recommend in PEP 8 that all instance attribute declarations in a class definition be grouped together and to do so right before the methods (right before __new__/__init__?). (...or disallow instance attribute declarations in the stdlib for now.) -eric _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
