It's not obvious why it should. Do you care to show a use case you had in mind? | |||

> It's not obvious why it should. I'd say that it's not obvious why it shouldn't. The "weakproxy" type currently supports every single "PyNumberMethods" slot *except* matrix multiplication: see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/bf94cc7b496a379e1f604aa2e4080bb70ca4020e/Objects/weakrefobject.c#L610-L645 It seems likely that this was an unintentional omission when matrix multiplication was added. I can't think of any good reason to support all but one (well, two, including the in-place method) of those PyNumberMethods. Supporting all of them gives a (conceptually) smaller, simpler object. I think this is a consistency bug that should be fixed. | |||

Adding Nathaniel Smith (the matrix multiplication PEP author), just in case he knows some reason why weakref.proxy objects should _not_ support the matrix multiplication operator. | |||

Yeah, seems like a simple oversight to me. (Actually this is the first I've heard of weakref.proxy...) | |||

Now fixed for 3.8. Although this was an oversight, I'm erring on the side of regarding this as a new feature for 3.8 (and I think the omission is unlikely to bite anyone for Python 3.7 or 3.6), so I wouldn't recommend backporting this. Thanks for the report! | |||
