Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: This is indeed weird. PyNumber_Add ends up calling compare_add with the float as its first argument, which is impossible to do from Python. And the wrap_binaryfunc_r check for subtypes means that compare.__radd__ claims it doesn't support floats either. So from Python, it's impossible to add floats and complex numbers via __special__ methods :)
Maybe Mark wants to shed some light? ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9930> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
