R. David Murray added the comment: "the subclass provides" doesn't actually imply anything about overriding, I think. For __eq__, though, that means that *every* class "provides" it. Indeed, I've always thought of the rule as "the subclass goes first" with no qualification, but that's only true for __eq__.
It looks like the "subclass goes first" note is missing from the __eq__ section. But see issue 21408. I find it hard to reason about this algorithm, so I could be completely wrong :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22052> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
