New submission from Pascal Chambon <chambon.pas...@gmail.com>: It seems we can't assign attributes to "objet" class instances, which don't have a __dict__ :
IDLE 2.6.4 >>> a = object() >>> a.abc = 3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module> a.abc = 3 AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'abc' >>> This behaviour seems undocumented, and contradicts the documentation on AttributeError -> normally, a TypeError should be raised instead: exception AttributeError Raised when an attribute reference (see Attribute references) or assignment fails. (When an object does not support attribute references or attribute assignments at all, TypeError is raised.) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 97416 nosy: pakal severity: normal status: open title: Problems with attribute assignment on object instances type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7659> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
