Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: I'd like to bikeshed a little on the name. I think it should be MappingProxy. (We don't use "view" much but the place where we do use it, for keys/values/items views, is very different I think. Also collections.abc already defines MappingView as the base class for KeysView and friends.)
Also make sure there's no way for someone who has access to the proxy to get to the underlying mapping; preventing that access is the explicit purpose of the original dict_proxy type. You might even add a comment to this effect to the code, so someone doesn't accidentally add it in the future. Perhaps in the proxy_methods structure or in the type structure just before tp_members. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14386> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
