Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: There are both speed and correctness reasons for special methods being looked up the way they are, so the behaviour isn't going to change.
Aside from providing additional details in the language reference on how special methods are looked up (and the reasons things are done that way), the only change that might eventually happen in this area is the inclusion of a mixin class in the standard library to assist in writing classes which delegate most operations to another object. That part won't happen before 2.7/3.1 though (if it happens at all). _______________________________________ 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
