Mark Shannon added the comment: I think this is a bug. This is not a normal case of subclassing as the interpreter calls the C API PyDict_XXX() in many cases where a dictionary subclass is passed in.
For example: class C: pass c = C() # Liskov substitution principle says this is OK. c.__dict__ = OrderedDict() c.a = 1 All access to the ordered dict is via the dict.__setitem__ method. I think this should be documented. ---------- nosy: +Mark.Shannon _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
