Neil Girdhar added the comment: The documentation suggests that you can have a metaclass that does is not the "most derived metaclass" provided you specify one that is not an instance of type. This doesn't work in CPython, so I would suggest fixing the documentation using the text I provided.
After that, it should be clear that there's no reason for "if isinstance(meta, type):" in the code, and the Python code should be restructured. The point is that these two functions drifted apart somewhere around Python 3, and they need to be brought back together. I only discovered this because it was possible in Python 2 to have a non-type metaclass that is not the most derived metaclass. That has disappeared in CPython 3, except from the documentation and Lib. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28437> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
