I'm not sure if documenting the additional restrictions of the concrete stdlib types in the ABC docs makes sense, either, since the ABCs are intentionally the minimal requirements for a concrete type to conform to the ABC. The concrete ABC methods are really examples, even though they are also widely useful (and widely used). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30146> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
