Description

Currently we have ​several different signatures for descriptor methods __get__() and __set__():

Curtis proposed:

  • "instance_type" is explicit
  • "cls" is a common convention for passing a class
  • "owner" is in the docs {but so are others}
  • and "type" I think is a bit confusing...

So... my preference, upon reflection, would be: def __get__(self, instance, cls=None)

This got several +1s ​on the mailing list.
