Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: I'm still torn. Can you implement the counter without adding an extra field to the dict object? I worry that we'll get the same objection we had when MAL proposed collision counting as a solution to the hash DoS attack.
The numbers 0, 1 and infinity are special; all others are to be treated with skepticism. I'm prepared to make the current semantic change a 3.3 feature, but I'm not sure it's safe to backport. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14205> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
