2) Change the default value for "hash" from "None" to "False". This
might take a little effort because there is currently an oddity where
setting hash=False causes it to be hashable. I'm pretty sure this
wasn't intended ;-)
I haven't looked at this yet.
I think the hashing logic explained in
https://bugs.python.org/issue32513#msg310830 is correct. It uses
hash=None as the default, so that frozen=True objects are hashable,
which they would not be if hash=False were the default. If there's some
case there that you disagree with, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
That logic is what is currently scheduled to go in to 3.7 beta 1. I have
not updated the PEP yet, mostly because it's so difficult to explain.
What's the case where setting hash=False causes it to be hashable? I
don't think that was ever the case, and I hope it's not the case now.
