    ...tors (__add__ and so on) cannot rely on the __coerce__ method to coerce the arguments; the other argument will be whatever was present originally. Thus, if x is a new-style class instance defining an __add__ method, x+1 causes a call to x.__add__(1). The method implementation will have to analyze the other argument's type in order to be able to implement the operation correctly. If the method implementation decides that it doesn't know how to implement the operation for this particular combin...

  • The Python 2.3 Method Resolution Order

    ...to the Python development mailing list [1]. In his post, Samuele showed that the Python 2.2 method resolution order is not monotonic and he proposed to replace it with the C3 method resolution order. Guido agreed with his arguments and therefore now Python 2.3 uses C3. The C3 method itself has nothing to do with Python, since it was invented by people working on Dylan and it is described in a paper intended for lispers [2]. The present paper gives a (hopefully) readable discussion of the C3 ...
