Nick Coghlan added the comment: Can I vote for something like "__builtin__" as the protocol, rather than something entirely specific to serialisation? As in "return the most appropriate builtin type with the same value"? Then a converter ("operator.builtin"?) could coerce builtin subclasses to their base classes by default, rather than needing to implement the protocol on every type.
Such a design would need a PEP, of course. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
