John Posner <jjpos...@optimum.net> added the comment: I think it would be confusing to create of subclass of defaultdict, defining a __missing__ method in that subclass. The existence of the __missing__ method would cancel the main functionality of the defaultdict object: invoking the "default value factory" callable.
I think it would be better to encourage programmers to subclass dict directly, instead of subclassing defaultdict. ---------- status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9536> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
