If you index them, you rely on a non garanteed implementation artefact: Python explicitly does not garanteed that comparisons between objects of different type are persistent across restarts. The BTree variants used in the implementation of indexes require that the keys are persistenty compared. Failing to do so, will break the index. The current Python implementation ensures persistent comparison results. Thus, you are on the good side. However, earlier Python implementations did not and maybe future implementations may not, too.... It is safer, to have just a single key type in your indexes... -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
