New submission from Tyler Reddy <tre...@dal.ca>:
Downstream in NumPy we've noticed that a "sequence" object defined as below
will hang (infinite __getitem__ calls) if we try to turn it into an array. The
same holds in CPython for converting it to a list:
class OneList:
def __len__(self):
# this won't be checked by
# PySequence_Fast and several
# over C API calls
return 1
def __getitem__(self, x):
# called indefinitely by
# i.e., PySequence_Fast
return 1
Just to confirm -- this is intentional / desired behavior:
list(OneList()) should hang in CPython?
