New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>: For 3.x, I think 7.7 Class Definitions should mention the metaclass keyword arg and cross-reference 3.3.3 Customizing class creation. Since it is no longer a 'special' name, let alone a 'special method name', there is no reason to know to look for it under that heading (I didn't until I looked for 'metaclass' in the index, which I had to know to look for, of course).
A possible sentence after "The class name is bound to this class object in the original local namespace." (and before discussion of @classdeco) "To modify this process, add 'metaclass = xxx' to the list of bases and see CCustomizing class creation." with the last three words being a blue link to 3.3.3. 2.x would need something a bit different, or just less ;-) ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 92733 nosy: georg.brandl, tjreedy severity: normal status: open title: Doc: Class statements and metaclass = xxx versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6928> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
