[issue47007] [doc] str docs are inconsistent with special method lookup
by Vanshaj Singhania 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

New submission from Vanshaj Singhania <svanshaj2001(a)gmail.com>: The documentation for the `str` class[^1] says: > If neither encoding nor errors is given, str(object) returns object.__str__() This led our students[^2] to try the following code: >>> class Test: ... def __str__(self): ... return 'hi' ... >>> test = Test() >>> test.__str__ = lambda self: 'bye' >>> str(test) The expected result was calling `test.__str__()`, but instead the interpreter output was `'hi'`. The docs for special method lookup[^3] do say that instance attributes are ignored: > For custom classes, implicit invocations of special methods are only guaranteed to work correctly if defined on an object’s type, not in the object’s instance dictionary. This makes sense, and explains the observed behavior, but the `str` class docs seem to be inconsistent with this. Perhaps it would be more clear if the `str` documentation mentioned that it called `type(object).__str__()` instead of `object.__str__()`.
