New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <alexander.belopol...@gmail.com>:
>>> object(1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: object.__new__() takes no parameters This is misleading because object.__new__() takes one parameter: >>> object.__new__(object) <object object at 0x100413980> I suggest changing "object.__new__() takes no parameters" to "object() takes no parameters". Some other inconsistencies that I noticed: >>> tuple.__new__(tuple, 1, 2, 3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: tuple() takes at most 1 argument (3 given) but >>> list.__new__(list, 1, 2, 3) [] ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 99547 nosy: Alexander.Belopolsky severity: normal status: open title: Misleading error message from object(arg) type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7963> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
