When faced with a diamond diagram, what are the semantics for isinstance(super_instance, cls)? I worked on it for a little bit and came up with the following: def super_isinstance(super_inst, cls): 'Is the cls in the mro somewhere after the current class?' mro = super_inst.__self__.__class__.__mro__ thisclass = super_inst.__thisclass__ return cls in mro and mro.index(thisclass) < mro.index(cls) ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30663/simple_diamond_example.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
