New submission from Eric Snow:
How well does OrderedDict need to behave in the face of keys with unstable
hashes (e.g. define __hash__ with varying results across calls)? I would
expect the behavior to be undefined (though non-crashing). Here's an example
of a misbehaving key:
class Key:
def __hash__(self):
return randrange(10000)
FWIW, dict does pretty well even with bad keys. The pure Python OrderedDict
does okay.
