Ouch. Who am I to tell beginners what they should and shouldn't be messing with, and in what order? IMNSHO, history (let alone understanding it) comes *way* after writing a few dunders, even if you don't count __init__ as a dunder. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. _______________________________________________ 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/VVXICTWV2EXQOHZTQ5KVADXG5ACR3CDA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
