I should have added that allowing mixed types for values (e.g. as discussed in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-April/125322.html) is far more problematic for database storage than non-unique values are. Nearly all databases (Sqlite being an exception) don't allow different types in a column. (Not sure if mixed types is still an open issue or not...) _______________________________________________ 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
