No, it would have to be written like this: >>> from types import * >>> class MyInt(IntType): # add a method def add1(self): return self.value+1 >>> i = MyInt(10) >>> i.add1() 11 >>> Note the value attribute. The IntType.__init__ method is basicly: def __init__(self, value): self.value = value
PyObject { int ob_refcnt; PyClass ob_class;
(plus type-specific fields I suppose)
Yes, the instance attributes. In this scheme all objects are instances of some class.
Yeah... Like you should be able to ask for ListType.append and get an unbound built-in method back, which can be applied to a list:
ListType.append([], 1) === [].append(1)
Right. My changes on the weekend where quite close to making this work. Neil
