New submission from Jeffrey Yasskin <jyasskin at gmail.com>:
>>> class Meta(type):
... def __instancecheck__(self, other):
... return False
>>> isinstance(3, Meta)
In 2.6, this results in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
(That's a recursion in C, through PyObject_IsInstance and
instancemethod_call)
In 3.0, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __instancecheck__() takes exactly 2 positional arguments (1
given)
