But when would you want to have a descriptor as an instance attribute? Descriptors must be in the class dictionary to work: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#implementing-descriptors I suppose, you could want some container class of descriptor objects, but that seems like an extremely narrow use-case, compared to the normal and common use-case of descriptors acting like descriptors. I think special-casing descriptors make sense because they act in a special way. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
