Hello, Sorry to annoy the very busy core devs :) out of the blue I quite noticed people were 1) wanting to have a new dict for Xmas 2) strongly resenting dict addition.
Even though I am not a good developper, I have come to a definition of addition that would follow algebraic rules, and not something of a dutch logic. (it is a jest, not a troll) I propose the following code to validate my point of view regarding the dictionnatry addition as a proof of concept : https://github.com/jul/ADictAdd_iction/blob/master/test.py It follows all my dusty math books regarding addition + it has the amability to have rules of conservation. I pretty much see a real advantage in this behaviour in functional programming (map/reduce). (see the demonstrate.py), and it has a sense (if dict can be seen has vectors). I have been told to be a troll, but I am pretty serious. Since, I coded with luck, no internet, intuition, and a complete ignorance of the real meaning of the magic methods most of the time, thus the actual implementation of the addition surely needs a complete refactoring. Sheers, Bonne fêtes Julien _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
