Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment: This is different case than mutating a dict while iterate it. In this case the failure is caused by GC, and it is always hard to handle such issues. In case of a dict you can just copy it before iterating. But what to do with RuntimeError from slicing a list if copying a list is vulnerable to the same issue?
The example of yet one solution you can see in dict_keys() in dictobject.c. I always wondered why this code is needed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
