2009/10/22 Barry Warsaw <barry at python.org>: So does anybody else think bug 7183 should be a release blocker for 2.6.4 final, or is even a legitimate but that we need to fix? I think it cannot hold up a release with out a reproducible code snippet. It may not be reproducible in standard Python, see David's follow up to the issue. If that holds true and we can't reproduce it, I agree we should not hold up the release for this.

The fix for 5890 has a funny "smell" to me: copying doc into the instance dict just feels wrong. How does that work with a pure Python class using slots? E.g.:

class MyProp(property): pass

class Foo(object): @property def bar(self): '''Get a bar.'''

  @MyProp
  def baz(self):
      '''Get a baz.'''

print Foo.bar.doc print Foo.baz.doc

class SlottedFoo(object): slots = () @property def bar(self): '''Get a bar.'''

  @MyProp
  def baz(self):
      '''Get a baz.'''

print SlottedFoo.bar.doc print SlottedFoo.baz.doc

That being said, I can't this bug as a release blocker: people can either upgrade to super-current Boost, or stick with 2.6.2 until they can.
