That was the message I received when I imported a self written module. All I wanted to do was experiment with subclassing slice. So I write something like:
class iterslice(slice): ... And when I fired up the python interpreter >>> from vslice import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "vslice.py", line 48, in ? class iterslice(slice): TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases type 'slice' is not an acceptable base type So what is going on. I thought the class vs type distinction was eliminated in order to be able to subclass base types. So why doesn't this work? -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
