Florent Xicluna <florent.xicl...@gmail.com> added the comment: Some real use case for the fixed behavior: - the patch for #7092 has a workaround to fix the comparison locally, both in test_decimal and test_set - test_cgi was changed, before noticing that SameElements has a flaw: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/test/test_cgi.py?r1=77871&r2=77870
But there's many snippets in the test suite which look like: expected.sort() actual.sort() self.assertEqual(expected, actual) Since sorting heterogeneous sequence is no longer supported in 3.x, it is painful to workaround this in each test case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
