We added the method names to help provide a nudge that the issue is likely to be a missing method implementation in the subclassing case, so I'd like to keep them if we can find a way to make the messages accurate again. What if we updated the offending format strings in typeobject.c to state the exact nature of the expected argument that is missing? PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "object.__init__() takes exactly one argument (the instance to initialize)"); PyErr_Format(PyExc_TypeError, "%.200s.__init__() takes exactly one argument (the instance to initialize)", type->tp_name); PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "object.__new__() takes exactly one argument (the type to instantiate)") ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31506> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
