Armin Rigo added the comment: Benjamin: oups, sorry. I don't remember setting the "easy" keyword, my mistake.
Fwiw I'm +1 on Marc-Andre's solution. Make it a tunable setting, e.g. with sys.setcollisionlimit(). Defaults to sys.maxint on existing Pythons and some smaller value (70?) on new Pythons. It has the same benefits as the recursion limit: it's theoretically bad, but most of the time very useful. It would also crash on bad usages of custom __hash__() methods: e.g. if you put a lot of keys in a dict, all with a custom __hash__() that returns 42. I imagine that it can be considered a good thing to raise in this case rather than silently degrade performance forever. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
