New submission from Gerrit Holl: According to the [documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase), `io.IOBase` has no public constructors. Yet I can create objects from it:
$ python3.5 Python 3.5.0 (default, Sep 13 2015, 17:20:05) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. Python are go! >>> import io >>> p = io.IOBase() >>> p.readable() False >>> p.closed False # etc... It doesn't do much, but the documentation is not consistent with the behaviour in practice. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 253059 nosy: Gerrit.Holl priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: I can create instances of io.IOBase versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25415> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
