New submission from Julian Berman <julian+python....@grayvines.com>:
The following code raises an unexpected exception:
class Foo(object):
def __len__(self):
raise Exception()
def __iter__(self):
return iter([])
list(Foo())
In the optimizations being done in listextend, it appears len is getting called
first for some reason (sorry, haven't gotten a chance to step through it
carefully yet).
Tangentially, PyPy (correctly I guess) throws no such exception.
