Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Having convinced myself that Raymond's original suggestion can't be implemented safely, I have an alternative (arguably even more radical) proposal:
Deprecate the public concrete API functions that modify object state. Put an underscore in front of them for internal use, have the public versions trigger a deprecation warning (not to be removed until 3.6 or so), provide a C level mechanism to easily make the equivalent of a super() call and advise that everyone switch to the abstract API in order to handle subclasses properly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10977> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
