Hello everyone,
I'm shortly writing to you about a reflection I lately made upon the
current functioning of __str__ for the time's class.
Before expressing my thought and proposal, I want to make sure we all agree
on a simple and clear fact:
the __str__ magic method is used to give a literal and

Hmmm. Yes, I guess if the expensive version requires a lot of

Can you assume that list of of type(list[0]) and use that type's optimised sort?
But in the optimised sort code check that the types are as required.
If you hit an element that is not of the required type then fall back to the
unoptimised sort.
So part of list is sorted using optimised code and t
Hi All,
I find importing defaultdict from collections to be clunky and it seems
like having a default should just be an optional keyword to dict. Thus,
something like,
d = dict(default=int)
would be the same as
from collections import defaultdict
d = defaultdict(int)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
That's already valid dict syntax.
>>> dict(default=int)
{'default': }
Generally that in itself makes this a no go.

Easy to find out:
>>> d1 = dict(default=5)
>>> d2 = {'default': 5}
>>> d1 == d2
True
