Re: [Python-Dev] anomaly
In case the example given at the start of the thread wasn't interesting enough, it also works in the other direction:
class str(int): pass
str('2')
2 #<----- an integer!!!

Here's something that might be wrong in Python (tried on v2.7):
class int(str): pass
int(3)
'3'
What's so odd about this? "class int" is an assignment to "int", i.e. what you're doing here is basically:
int = str int(3) # really str(3)

Same thing. You're shadowing the builtin.
