annoying behavior

[Patrick Maupin]

Making interpreter 100% "bullet prove" is impossible, finding errors,
which can be found, not only possible, but also very commendable.

Isn't this obvious?

Not yet, but once you submit a patch for the compiler which will do
what you want (without slowing down imports tremendously for everybody
else), I'm sure it will be such a thing of beauty that it will, in
retrospect, be obvious, and you will be hailed by one and all as the
man who finally added true error detection to Python.

Let's stop wasting time on this discussion and continue discussing
decorators

I agree that this discussion is wasted on a man of your capabilities,
but so is the discussion about decorators. I'd rather see that patch.

Regards,
Pat

Just to make it really clear what Patrick is saying: ... (code excised here)
If you don't want a dynamic language, don't use Python!

-Chris

This is a great example, but just to make sure that no beginners are
confused, I would like to point out that this example is of an actual
class (rather than a class instance) being modified dynamically (when
foo.r is assigned the value False), which was discussed in the
original post, but not in the snippet above the example.

Pat
