Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: As far as I am concerned, the implementation of PyObject_Unicode in object.c has a bug in it: it should NEVER be retrieving __unicode__ from the instance object. The implementation of PyObject_Format in abstract.c shows the correct way to retrieve a pseudo-slot method like __unicode__ from an arbitrary object.
Line 482 in object.c is the offending line: func = PyObject_GetAttr(v, unicodestr); Fix that bug, then add a __unicode__ method back to Exception objects and you will have the best of both worlds. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
