Armin Rigo added the comment: Wrong, sorry. On a 32-bit Python 2.7, "(2**32-1)*n" has the same hash -2, for any value of n.
Of course if you build a dict containing thousands of such integers as keys, then right now you get unexpectedly bad performance. I wonder if I should open another bug report about that --- the hash of longs should be slightly more random-looking... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
