描述
Bug report
See also: #90333.
super() exhibits behavior subtly broken in different ways when used in inner functions with zero arguments:
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
def inner():
print(str(super()))
inner()
>>> Foo()
...
RuntimeError: super(): no arguments
and in inner functions that do take arguments:
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
def inner(_=1):
print(str(super()))
inner()
>>> Foo()
...
TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type
...unless the first argument is None:
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
def inner(_=None):
print(str(super()))
inner()
>>> Foo()
<super: <class 'Foo'>, NULL>
but then method lookup doesn't work as expected (raises AttributeError trying to access any method not defined on NoneType).
__class__ gets injected into the code properly, it just seems that super() assumes the first argument of the immediately enclosing function is self.
It seems to me that:
- The best case would be for this behavior to look up
selffrom the same scope__class__was defined in rather than the immediate scope wheresuper()was invoked, making it possible to use zero-argument super in nested functions - If that is not possible, a consistent error should be raised regardless of the arguments to the immediately-enclosing function; all three of those examples should communicate that zero-argument super in nested functions is not supported. Especially the first error message is misleading, since it describes two-argument
super. - If zero-argument
super()is not made to work in nested functions, this quirk should be clearly documented. Right now the documentation only vaguely hints at problems:Also note that, aside from the zero argument form, super() is not limited to use inside methods.
I'd be happy to work on this but am concerned there might be a lot of edge-cases that are not obvious to me (like the workaround for super() being called from the C-API before a MAKE_CELL).

研究方向
首先重現 issue 中的三個巢狀函式範例,並比較它們的無參數 super() 行為。閱讀無參數 super() 的文件,並調查提到的 class、MAKE_CELL 和 C-API 互動。完成的標準是確定一致的行為、統一的錯誤或受支援的查找語意,以及相應的回歸涵蓋或文件。
