It's possible that __getself__ would be implemented "halfway". That is, if __getself__ is present, it is invoked, and performs *side effects* (a simple example would be an access counter/logger for the object). Then the compiler loads that object, discarding any return value of the method. I think this is the semantics that the proponents are thinking of. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/Q5XDXZBDBIFUZP424TNPF4C4UNXDWSI7/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
