Georg Brandl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Paddy: IMO hasattr() is the "if it quacks like a duck" part of duck-typing. It e.g. allows testing "hasattr(x, 'write')" to see if it's a writable file-like object, and doing something else otherwise.
Benjamin: ABCs are not duck-typing since they involve isinstance() anyway. ---------- resolution: -> works for me status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3214> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
