"Sets weren't meant to be deterministic" sounds like a remnant of the old philosophy, where we said the same about dicts -- until they became deterministic without slowing down, and then everybody loved it.
I got the impression that there were some internal language reasons to want stable dicts, e.g. so that the class dict passed to __prepare__ preserves the order in which names are assigned in the class body. Are there any such use cases for stable sets? -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/3TEOQMV2UXOKWMHVYA63JLPLAZ2TNX55/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
