Another issue with this change: the dummy object should be of a dummy subclass of 'object', rather than of 'object' itself. When it is 'object' itself, a custom __eq__() method will be called, sending what should be the dummy object to the pure Python code explicitly, as in the example below. This is bad because ---in addition to calling __eq__() with unexpected arguments, which might break some code--- we could then take the dummy object, and try to insert it into another set... class A(object): def __init__(self, hash): self.hash = hash def __eq__(self, other): print("seen!", self, other) return False def __hash__(self): return self.hash a1 = A(1) a2 = A(2) s = {a1, a2} s.remove(a2) A(2) in s A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ 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
