Raymond Hettinger added the comment: While this hasn't proven to be an issue to date (non-reflexive objects don't arise much in practice), the proposed change would make it easier to use the Sequence ABC to create classes that are interoperable with other sequences and that have the clean invariant, "anything added to the sequence will be "in" the sequence".
That said, I don't know if this is really needed. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +rhettinger priority: normal -> low type: -> behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37596/sequence_identity.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23162> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
