This is only misleading *after* you know all the interesting details about Python and metaclasses. Prior to that, it is a reasonable and important distinction that I don't want to get lost in weasel words. The calls from object.__getattribute__ are different that those from type.__getattribute__. Likewise, data and non-data descriptors can only be described in terms of objects versus classes. Lastly, descriptors only work when stored in a class, if you store them in instances, they don't get invoked. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25435> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
