R. David Murray added the comment: Well, while 'coercion' does refer to changing from one type to another, and technically we are doing that here, in OO we generally think of subclasses as more-or-less being of the same type as the superclass. So I think it would be clearer to spell out that we are changing the object type to be that of the superclass. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15984> _______________________________________
