I don't feel that way; dict is more basic, set is just a special case of dict for performance reasons. Also, dict is used to define and implement the language itself, set is "just" a predefined type. > but dictobject module is never finalized (is this a bug or a feature?) I guess it's a feature. What should PyDict_Fini do? Release the dummy object? That can't work, and won't help. > For example, I can use dict API in atexit callbacks, but not set API. Right. It is by design that you can use the dict API everywhere, since dict is part of the language itself. set wasn't designed with such a goal (the same is true for many other types, I would guess).
