[New-bugs-announce] [issue15289] Adding __getitem__ as a class method doesn't work as expected

[samwyse]

New submission from samwyse <samwyse at gmail.com>:

I'm using a class as a decorator, and saving information in a class variable.  I wanted to access the information via a __getitem__ class method, but using conventional syntax doesn't work on a class.  The following exception is thrown when the attached script is run.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/sam/Documents/forth.py", line 34, in <module>
    print Alias["f'"]
TypeError: 'type' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
