Case Van Horsen <cas...@gmail.com> added the comment: I've spent some time working through the new hash function by re-implementing it for gmpy. Very elegant design.
I like _PyHASH_MODULUS better, too. Regarding a hash function for complex types, I think documenting the existing behavior for PyComplex is sufficient. The magic number 1000003 could be documented in hash_info as 'multiplier' and _PyHASH_MULTIPLIER. The same constant, but a different algorithm, is also used when hashing a tuple. I think hash(m/P) should preserve sign. It just seems more symmetrical. :) ---------- nosy: +casevh _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8188> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
