Because there's no function overloading in Python, we then must have explicit typing conditionals. I haven't the time to dig through and compare this with the other fine solutions presented; is there a reason that a proxy/facade PrimitiveType wouldn't solve for this? class TextThing: __init__(self, data): self.data = data self.type_ = type(data) __getattr__(self, key): return getattr(self.data, key) > > > -- > ~Ethan~ > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/wes.turner%40gmail.com
