Oleg Oshmyan <chor...@inbox.lv> added the comment: > We can use a class attribute to set the attribute before calling __init__
Ah, yes, I thought about adding a class attribute as well, but the class currently does not have any and initializes instance attributes to default values in __init__, so I chose getattr. > How can this be tested? According to the initial report, exceptions raised in > __del__ seem to be ignored. Exceptions raised in __del__ are printed to sys.stderr, even if it has been reassigned by Python code: >>> import sys, io, subprocess >>> sys.stderr = io.StringIO() >>> subprocess.Popen(fdsa=1) >>> sys.stderr.getvalue() 'Exception AttributeError: "\'Popen\' object has no attribute \'_child_created\'" in <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x1006ee710>> ignored\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>\nTypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument \'fdsa\'\n' test_generators.py already uses this trick in a test similar to what would be needed for this issue around line 1856. Should I attempt to modify my patch to include a comment and a test? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12085> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
