More weird observations: the following code does not work until you change the name of the member 'longer' to a one-char name, for example, 'j':
--- START --- #!/usr/bin/env python import copy class Foo (object): __slots__ = 'i' class Bar (Foo): __slots__ = 'longer' #__slots__ = 'j' b1 = Bar() b1.longer = 22 #b1.j = 22 b2 = copy.copy(b1) # doesn't work in Python 2.4.2 # BUT if 'longer' is changed to 'j' in the entire file, then it works! print b2.longer #print b2.j --- END --- I've tried different names and concluded that as long as I used one character the code works. Anything longer than one character bombs. Why? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
