R. David Murray added the comment: I agree with Raymond. I'm not sure that adding roughly is going to decrease the possibility of confusion, but I won't object to it.
In a way, it's too bad we didn't make the attribute lookup machinery look up all dunder methods on the class, so that a.__index__ would call the class method. I think backward compatibility prevented that. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31042> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
