Jeff Hammerbacher commented on AVRO-215:
----------------------------------------

Note also that memoization is a common use of decorators, and decorators are 
available in Python 2.4+. If we're comfortable requiring Python 2.4 (seems 
reasonable to me), we can explore the use decorators here.

> Add docstring indicating utility of "seen" parameter to __hash__ and __eq__ 
> in schema.py

> As pointed out by Doug on the mailing list, the point of the "seen" parameter 
> is to "contain the set of schemas that are on the stack.  Schemas can be 
> circular, so this is required to prevent infinite loops."
