Folks,
I'm running into the following issue. A staticmethod of a class seems
not to be accepted as a special class method of the class object
itself. For example:
class Foo(object):
def __len__(): return 2
__len__ = staticmethod(__len__)
print len(Foo)
>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Dokumente/foo.py",
line 4, in ?
print len(Foo)
TypeError: len() of unsized object
However, the following works:
class FooType(type):
def __len__(self): return self.l()
class Foo(object):
__metaclass__ = FooType
def l(): return 3
l = staticmethod(l)
print len(Foo)
>>>
3
Any good reason why the lookup process doesn't find __len__ as
staticmethod of the class?
