Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: You are right, I misinterpreted “use”. I cloned the the PEP 3155 repo and ran my test script (I’ll attach it for reference) and reprs/strs are indeed "<class '__main__.A.B'>" and "<function makestrip.<locals>.strip at ...>", so this request is not obsoleted.
I’ve updated my patch to use qualnames for str(cls) and str(func). As I reported before, if I want str(sys.exc_info) to be 'exc_info', then Python unbound methods (i.e. functions) are affected: <method 'update' of 'dict' objects> <built-in method update of dict object at ...> <method 'tolist' of 'array.array' objects> <built-in method tolist of array.array object at ...> → Counter.update <bound method Counter.update of Counter()> → Top.Nested.method # this checks qualnames are used <bound method Nested.method of <__main__.Top.Nested object at ...> It seems to me that this is not a problem: Python 3 unbound methods *are* functions. If you decide that having str(method) unchanged for all kinds of methods is more important than giving all kinds of functions a short str, I can do it. ---------- dependencies: +PEP 3155 implementation Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23771/change-some-str.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13224> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
