Aahz:
It's not particularly convenient for me to try out 2.2a1, so I'm just going by what's written. One little hole that I don't see an answer to is what happens when you do this:
class C(object): x = 0 def foo(cls): cls.x += 1 foo = classmethod(foo)
C.foo()
Okay, after thinking about this a bit, I think that if the above code requires __dynamic__=1 to work, then the default for __dynamic__ should be changed. I don't find the arguments about changing __class__ to be particularly persuasive, but I think the above code *is* closely related to standard Python idioms that should work by default. +1 on changing __dynamic__ or at least enabling some kind of class variable mutability by default. -- --- Aahz (@pobox.com) Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 <*> http://www.rahul.net/aahz/ Androgynous poly kinky vanilla queer het Pythonista I don't really mind a person having the last whine, but I do mind someone else having the last self-righteous whine.
