That feature of __hash__ is just an unfortunate necessity. It arises because hashability is sometimes a "deep" property (i.e. it depends on the hashability of a container's contents as well as the nature of the container itself). No such thing applies to __iter__. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
