Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
Rather than introduce "fixes" that break code and hurt performance, I think it would be better to deprecate PyMapping_Check() and wait for a fast, clean C version of the ABCs (that is supposed to be our one obvious way to do it). FWIW, the spreadsheet example has been around for years and I know of more than one private company that has made heavy use of code modeled on that example (not for spreadsheets, but as a hook for eval). So, I don't think the new "keys" check should be backported. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5945> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
