R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: collections.Set (in python 3.3, collections.abc.Set) is the *definition* of the minimal API. To construct a class that conforms to the minimal definition is certainly easier than constructing one that supports all of the methods that the set builtin does.
I suppose it would be possible for the collections module to provide a 'SetMixin' or some such that provided implementations of the other methods in terms of the required methods, but that would definitely be a feature request, and probably a topic that should be discussed first on the python-ideas mailing list. ---------- resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12330> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
