Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Interesting solution! While the patch itself looks fine to me, I'm not sure I like this solution much. It's fine to use this trick for list or tuple, but implementing it for all old-style classes at once seems a bit dangerous.
With this patch, it seems to me that the rule describing exactly what __getitem__ receives (for an old-style class implementing __getitem__ but not __getslice__) becomes rather complicated, and can no longer be deduced from the documentation. I'd say leave the current behaviour as it is, and remind people that they should be using new-style classes wherever possible. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7532> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
