Aren’t __defaults__ and __kwdefaults__ mutable, so this exact same issue can arise today? I think it’s worth testing anyway (and testing both with and without a **kw, and maybe testing what happens with too many __defaults__ too), but unless the result is something like “the constructor segfaults”, it seems like probably it’s fine to keep doing it, and if not it’s probably a separate bug from the one you’re fixing. _______________________________________________ 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/XKVQNOG7NY3UIEJVIVCIIF7UMX2YJEG2/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
