Peter Inglesby added the comment: Victor, I'm not talking about redefining a method, and David, I don't think I'm talking about changing dynamic nature of the class dictionary.
All I'm suggesting is that if some code contains a class whose body defines the same method twice, Python should treat it as an error. At the moment, as far as I can tell, the first method is ignored. Is there any situation where this behaviour is useful? Python already handles a somewhat similar situation by raising a SyntaxError when it encounters a function whose parameter list contains duplicates: >>> def f(a, a): ... pass ... File "<stdin>", line 1 SyntaxError: duplicate argument 'a' in function definition ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28776> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
