[Python-Dev] Adding types.build_class for 3.3 (original) (raw)

For those suggesting the operator module is actually a good choice, there's no way to add this function without making major changes to the module description (go read it - I only realised the problem when I went to add the docs). It's a bad fit (much worse than types or a class method)

Instead, I'm now thinking we should add a types C extension module and expose the new function as types.buildclass(). I don't want to add an entire new module just for this feature, and the types module seems like an appropriate home for it.

Dunno. Currently the only thing the types module contains is types. A function would seem a bit out of place there. I don't think there's too much wrong with putting it in the operators module -- it's a function doing something that is otherwise expressed by special syntax. -- Greg _______** Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev at python.org http://mail.python.org/**mailman/listinfo/python-dev<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev> Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ ncoghlan%40gmail.com<http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ncoghlan%40gmail.com> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
