New submission from Chris Jerdonek: This issue is to add the "object" type to the list of types documented in the language reference's standard type hierarchy and the library reference's list of built-in types:
http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/datamodel.html#the-standard-type-hierarchy http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#other-built-in-types The constructor is documented here: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html#object In the documentation, it might also be worth stating explicitly which of the special methods the object type defines: http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/datamodel.html#special-method-names For example, object.__str__ is defined, but object.__bytes__ is not. By doing this, users will know which special methods user-defined classes will automatically inherit. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 175938 nosy: chris.jerdonek, docs@python, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: include the "object" type in the lists of documented types type: enhancement versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16508> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
