Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Blake Ross (blakeross) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: object.__init__ shouldn't allow args/kwds Initial Comment: object.__init__ currently allows any amount of args and keywords even though they're ignored. This is inconsistent with other built-ins, like list, that are stricter about what they'll accept. It's also inconsistent with object.__new__, which does throw if any are provided (if the default __init__ is to be used). To reproduce: object.__init__(object(), foo, bar=3) This is a slight irritation when using cooperative super calling. I'd like each class' __init__ to cherry-pick keyword params it accepts and pass the remaining ones up the chain, but right now I can't rely on object.__init__ to throw if there are remaining keywords by that point. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1683368&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
