Extracted from xml.dom.minidom:
~~~
Node(...):
...
ownerDocument = None
...
Element(Node):
__slots__=('ownerDocument', ...)
...
~~~
As Element declares an ownerDocument attribute in __slots__, Node's ownerDocument attribute is hidden:
~~~
class B: b=1;
class D(B): __slots__={'b'}
D().b -> AttributeError
~~~
This leads to a strange behaviour were accessing a base attribute fails with an attribute error.
Should the Node.ownerDocument attribute not be removed?
Or its name removed from the Element.__slots__ list?
Ie have the attribute in the base or the derivative, but not both.
Independent note: <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#slots> says:
> When inheriting from a class without __slots__ [Node], the __dict__ attribute of that class will always be accessible, so a __slots__ definition in the subclass [Element] is meaningless.
So as for as I understand Element.__slots__ does not reduce the Element() footprint (it was introduced for that). |
