> As for __class_getitem__, why not implement type.__getitem__ instead of hacking PyObject_GetItem()?
This question was raised by Mark Shannon on python-dev. Actually, my initial implementation did exactly this, but I didn't like it for two reasons:
1. dir(type) is already very long, I don't want to make it even longer.
2. Some users may be surprised that although ``type.__getitem__`` is defined, ``int[something]`` will rise "TypeError: type object is not subscriptable"
Mark however disappeared since then, so I don't know what is his current opinion. I am however not as sure about this now. If there are some arguments for this, then I can revert to the older approach (implementing ``type.__getitem__``). |
