I think I need to see an actual working demonstration, because as far as I can see, type(obj) returns obj.__class__.
Nope: >>> class C(object): ... def f(self): ... return "Surprise!" ... __class__ = property(f) ... >>> c = C() >>> type(c) <class '__main__.C'> >>> c.__class__ 'Surprise!' It appears that type() bypasses the attribute access mechanism and goes straight for the actual type. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
