R. David Murray added the comment: Although this is clearly a bug, we've run into backward compatibility issues in the past with promoting stdlib classic classes to new style, so I'm not sure if the risk of fixing it is worth the benefit. It is obviously not a problem in Python3.
Eric: I had to stare it for a while to see it...the problem is that because it is a classic class, the setter for fieldnames doesn't *work*, it just replaces the value of 'fieldnames' instead of setting self._fieldnames. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
