You can have a single shared global function that you set on each dataclass. So the only cost would be an entry in each dataclass type's dict. Even if a user creates a thousand dataclasses, that should only be tens of killobytes in pointers. > I think using hasattr or catching the exception is a better way to go. If you choose this, then I think this should be documented under the __post_init__ saying that any time you define __post_init__, you should either be a final class, or else call super. If you call super, you musteither use hasattr(super().__post_init__) or catch the exception. I have to admit, I find this quite ugly from a user perspective. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46757> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
