Message75853
I ran into a case where I modified the __name__ attribute of a function
and then didn't specify the right number of arguments, and I got a
TypeError that used the original function name, as demonstrated here:
>>> def foo(): pass
...
>>> foo.__name__ = 'bar'
>>> foo(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: foo() takes no arguments (1 given)
I would have expected it to say "TypeError: bar() ...". I'm guessing
that the interpreter isn't using the __name__ attribute in this case. |
