Martin Panter added the comment: My guess is Michael was doing something like
>>> class Monkey(http.client.HTTPSConnection): ... pass ... >>> http.client.HTTPSConnection = Monkey >>> http.client.HTTPSConnection("bugs.python.org") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1210, in __init__ source_address) [. . .] File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1210, in __init__ source_address) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1209, in __init__ super(HTTPSConnection, self).__init__(host, port, timeout, RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object Looking at <https://github.com/cdent/wsgi-intercept/commit/d70dfa9>, I think this problem has been overcome by also overriding __init__(). IMO Python shouldn’t go very far out of its way to support monkey patching, and in this case the workaround was disliked by Eric. Given these two facts and no apparent interest since, I think we should close this. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13771> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
