Hello all,
I may well be being dumb (it has happened before), but I'm struggling
to fix some code breakage with Python 2.6.
I have some code that looks for the '__lt__' method on a class:
if hasattr(clr, '__lt__'):
However - in Python 2.6 object has grown a default implementation of
'__lt__', so this test always returns True.
class X(object): pass
...
X.__lt__
<method-wrapper '__lt__' of type object at 0xa15cf0>
X.__lt__ == object.__lt__
False
In 3.0, the test returns true because function attributes only get
wrapped when bound. In the meanwhile, " 'object' in repr(X.__lt__)"
should do it for you.
