No, I'm saying Python should behave differently. Python: >>> class A: ... def f(self): ... print("f") ... def g(self): ... print("g") ... >>> a = A() >>> a.__class__.f = a.__class__.g >>> a.f() g In my preferred semantics, a.f() would print >>> a.f() f Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
