But presumably P(1) will work?

Great catch. This is a bad assertion with an even worse comment: this TypeError is occurring because it's missing an argument, not because of the no-instantiation check. I'm inclined to just remove this assertRaises. What do you think?

Agree that the current test doesn't make much sense. It would be useful though to add a test that asserts that P.__init__ doesn't get clobbered. For example, you could call P.__init__(some_object, 1) directly.

(Also, unrelatedly, this change will need a NEWS entry.)

Thank you for the feedback.

I split up the test into 2:

  1. Verify that __init__ is no longer clobbered (as per your suggestion)
  2. Check that concrete subclasses can inherit and use init from a protocol class


# but a concrete subclass can
class C(P): pass

c = C(1)
self.assertIsInstance(c, C)

# and this concrete subclass can inherit the __init__
# implementation from Protocol
self.assertEqual(c.x, 1)
