Summary
This change documents and verifies the current absence of
__init_subclass__
functionality, in anticipation of a possible future PEP487 'metaclasses lite' patch.The main
core_class_initsubclass.py
test verifies if the method is automatically called, while the other three verify other orthogonal properties it should have: if the method is an implicit classmethod; if micropython supplies the base case for the usual recursive function body the PEP encourages; and if kwargs inheritance parameters work correctly.Testing
I've verified that these tests fail as expected, correctly detecting the feature's absence.
Trade-offs and Alternatives
Some of the tests include code that regularizes across other unrelated differences between CPython and Micropython; but the complexity of this isn't large and it should be easy to verify that they wouldn't ever cause the tests to spuriously pass or fail.
