L. Peter Deutsch added the comment: Actually, "called" and "callable" are OK, if the documentation says somewhere that the normal effect of "calling" a type object is to invoke __new__. The places I looked first (sections 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4.1) do not say this. 5.3.4 does say that the result of calling a class object is a new instance of that class, but it doesn't mention __new__. So perhaps it would OK to just add something like the following to 3.4.3:
Note that if a metaclass is a subclass of <code>type</code>, it should override <code>__new__</code>, not <code>__call__</code>. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1734> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
