Scott Dial added the comment: I want to clarify that the proposed change would break:
operator.attrgetter(foo)(bar) == getattr(bar, foo) Which is the documented intent of the operator module: "This module exports a set of functions implemented in C corresponding to the intrinsic operators of Python." Unless, you are proposing getattr grow this functionality as well. IOW, should PyObject_GetAttr* perform this recursion? If so, should PyObject_HasAttr*, PyObject_DelAttr*, PyObject_SetAttr* do this as well? At the moment, it is possible to have foo's (as in above) that contain dots despite the inability to spell that in python's dereferencing syntax. However, I don't know that anybody does that. ---------- nosy: +scottdial __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1826> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
