A long time ago I wrote a Web page (http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/warts.html)
|
||||
listing flaws in Python's design. One of the most significant flaws was that
|
||||
it's impossible to subclass Python types implemented in C. In particular, it's
|
||||
not possible to subclass built-in types, so you can't just subclass, say, lists
|
||||
in order to add a single useful method to them. The :mod:`UserList` module
|
||||
provides a class that supports all of the methods of lists and that can be
|
||||
subclassed further, but there's lots of C code that expects a regular Python
|
||||
list and won't accept a :class:`UserList` instance.
