Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: I thought about a warning, but the problem is that a subclass using the concrete API as part of its *implementation* of the associated slot or method is actually perfectly correct usage.
I'm not sure this is enough to give up on the idea of OrderedDict being a dict subclass implemented in C, though. It seems to me that some defensive internal checks (to pick up state corruption due to this problem) would be a lesser evil than giving up on being a dict subclass. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10977> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
