Stefan Krah added the comment: I'm not so sure. If dicts or classes are used for configuration or informational purposes, I prefer them to be locked down.
An example of the first is the decimal context, where it was possible to write context.emax = 9 instead of context.Emax = 9 without getting an error. This is an easy mistake to make and can be hard to track down in a large program. The mistake here is maybe less likely, but I agree with Georg that it's a case for a read-only dict/dictproxy. ---------- nosy: +skrah status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14260> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
