Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Unless there are some serious objections, I propose to close this on the basis of "practicality beats purity" (and as David Murray noted, there may not be a pure answer). Eric Snow's comments are dead-on.
AFAICT, there isn't a real problem here and the API for better-or-worse has proven to be usable in practice (the callable() API has been around practically forever and the descriptor protocol has been around since Py2.2 -- if there were a real issue here, it would have reared it head long ago). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23990> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
