Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I don't think it is possible to avoid adding a new slot. The default implementation of tp_getattro (PyObject_GenericGetAttr) looks in the instance dict, while super does not (because it wants a less specific implementation).
PyObject_GenericGetAttr will also walk the entire MRO, while super.__getattribute__ does not start search at the first entry in the MRO. Although I'd love to be proven wrong ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18181> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
