Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I wondered why getsizeof fails for _sre.SRE_Pattern objects when it succeeds for _socket.socket or struct.Struct.
It turns out that _sre.SRE_Pattern defines the tp_getattr slot, and this prevents attribute lookup from searching the base class (object). This is a pity, because the base implementation (which use tp_basicsize) does the right thing for many objects. So I borrowed some code from the __format__ method, and here is a patch. Now classes are not handled specially any more; the distinction is between old-style instances, and all other objects. All tests pass, but I may have missed something important... ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10746/sizeof.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3122> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
