New submission from Eric Snow: (related to PEP 422 and issue #17044) The execution namespace from a class definition is passed as the third argument to the metaclass (see builtin___build_class__() in Python/bltinmodule.c). When applicable, which is almost always, the subsequent call to type.__new__() copies that namespace into a new dict which is in turn exposed via the class's __dict__. This matters in the case where a metaclass with __prepare__() gets used (or the PEP 422 equivalent). The language reference[1] should note that the object returned by __prepare__() is copied into a new dict when the class is finally created via the metaclass.

Eric Snow added the comment: Thanks for working on this. Sorry I didn't get a chance to see your PR sooner. There was one small thing that needs to be changed back, as I implied in my comment on the PR [1]. Please undo the change in the text from "ordered mapping" to "dict". The original "is initialised as an empty ordered mapping" text line should be restored. "dict" is currently still not correct (the language spec does not dictate that dict be ordered). However, PEP 520 specifies that it must be ordered. Thanks!

Guido van Rossum added the comment: As I mentioned in my response on the PR, dict *is* required to be ordered since 3.7. So I think it is okay as is. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue17422 _______________________________________

Caleb Donovick added the comment: While It is perfectly fine behavior for CPython to use a dict, as dict is an ordered mapping. I think Eric is right that the data model should not specify that a dict is necessarily used in the absence of __prepare__. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue17422 _______________________________________
