Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: But the sleep(0.1) forces a thread switch so I consider that still cheating -- nobody in their right mind would consider calling sleep() inside __hash__.
You can probably get it to fail without this by just doing a bunch of random computation in the __hash__ (and using a low sys.setswitchinterval() value). Or consider creating a key that consists of e.g. a tuple of 100 or 1000 Key instances -- hashing that will call the __hash__ on each of those, wasting a lot of cycles. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
