IMO classes ought to actually appear in __builtin__ if they claim they are defined there. Doing otherwise breaks reflection, as you have to add a special case for these class names to use the appropriate object from the types module instead. Thoughts? If it isn't desirable to have these names appear in __builtin__, perhaps their '__module__' should be changed to another module where they are defined? Such as? There really isn't a module where e.g. GeneratorType is defined.
Seems perfectly reasonable and useful to add GeneratorType and others to the types module. I have code, for example, like this, in a couple places:
Well, it's already there, but types.GeneratorType.__name__ is 'generator'... it could be changed to 'GeneratorType', I guess. Cheers, mwh -- . <- the point your article -> . |------------------------- a long way ------------------------| -- Cristophe Rhodes, ucam.chat
