Giacomo Alzetta added the comment: "their hash value is their id()" seems quite clearly stating that:
>>> class A: pass ... >>> a = A() >>> hash(a) == id(a) should be true, but: >>> hash(a) == id(a) False (both in python2 and in python3) The python 2 documentation for the __hash__ special method *does* state that the default implementation returns a value "derived" by id(). I believe there is an inconsistency. In the python2 glossary it should say: "their hash value is derived from their id()" While in python3 it shouldn't mention id() at all, since the documentation for __hash__ doesn't mention it at all. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21782> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
