[Python-Dev] Q: playing with 2.2a1 => strange behaviour, or misunderstanding

Aug. 20, 2001


      I have tried this with 2.2a1:
1. I have not checked the related C code
2. I have not checked the bug report list
...
...
...
class C(object): pass
...
c=C()
c.a=3
object.__getattr__(c,'a')
3
object.__setattr__(c,'a',6)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)
Is that meaningful or a problem?
I'm trying to understand type/class unification to consider possible jython
issues.
