Is there any interest in adding 'object' to some of the core classes
like Deferred, in a future release of Twisted? It would help with
some
debugging/logging (because there's better introspection)
The proble with doing this is that it is a backwards-incompatible
change;
doing this in a way that would comply with Twisted's backwards
compatibility policy would be somewhat awkward:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/CompatibilityPolicy
The only way this could be done would be to do so in an "opt-in"
fashion. E.g. something like:
import twisted
twisted.useNewStyleClasses(True)
But even that would be global for a given instantiation of the python
interpreter which isn't really very good either if you need to mix new-
style-expecting and old-style-expecting classes.
So it really doesn't esem worth it, given that people can mixin object
themselves if they desire.
