They could, yes, but that would break the proxy behavior, and the hash <--> equality behavior for mutable objects. In particular, mutable objects can become equal; if the hashes were computed for the proxies before that happened, the hashes would be inappropriate later. That's pretty important. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24067> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
