It is possible to implement NewType to return a class rather than a function as it does currently. However, the class version uses substantially more memory (1072 bytes vs 144 bytes with sys.getsizeof) and NewType is supposed to have almost no runtime overhead. ---------- nosy: +domdfcoding _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
