Kurt B. Kaiser added the comment: > 1) Should Delegator delegate calls to callables
No, I agree they should. The question is whether it's necessary to add a __call__() method to the Delegator class. I claim you can do what you want to do without it. It serves only one purpose that I can see: you want to delegate to a callable by calling the instance at the top of the chain, and one of the chain members isn't callable. I don't see a use case for that, YAGNI. I'll defer the Percolator discussion for now. There is more to it than just the inheritance issue. I found your example1.py to be confusing. Please stop using the word 'delegator', it's too overloaded in this discussion! I marked up example1.py as example1a.py, changing some names and adding some comments. I also worked up example2.py which seems to cover the possible combinations of proxying functions, callables, and methods. It works without adding __call__() to Delegator. Please check it out, what more do you need? I'll be away until Sunday, so I can't respond further until then. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1252> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
