New submission from ppperry <maprea...@olum.org>:
I was trying to create a class that didn't have any references to itself to
test issue39382 and ran the following code:
class Meta(type):
def mro(cls):
return type.mro(cls)[1:]
class X(metaclass=Meta):
pass
This produced an extremely cryptic error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#89>", line 1, in <module>
class X(metaclass=Meta):
TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type
While what I am trying to do may well not be supported, the error message
referencing the `super` function, which I didn't use, is not helpful.
