Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Unfortunately, the standard library doesn't tend to do this kind of delegation (aside from weakref.proxy, which implements the equivalent code directly in C), so there isn't a lot of standard library code that will benefit from it directly.
However, maintaining such a class on PyPI is also fairly undesirable, due to the extremely tight coupling between the list of methods it needs to delegate explicitly and the tp_* slots in the PyType method definitions - add a new tp_* slot, and it's necessary to add the same methods to the proxy class. Different Python implementations are going to have different needs as to which slots they have to delegate explicitly, and which can be left to the __getattribute__ catch-all delegation. As far as adding a module for a single class goes, I wouldn't expect it to remain that way forever. E.g., I'd hope to eventually see a CallableMixin that defined __get__ the same way a function does, making it easier to create callables that behave like functions when stored as a class attribute. That said, I'd be happy enough with adding the ProxyMixin to the types module instead, but I thought we were still trying to get rid of that module. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue643841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
