Raymond Hettinger added the comment: One other thought: The purpose of the source links is to help people learn. It in no way every implies that someone should hack private implementation details. We have a number of modules that have both a pure python implementation and a replacement with a C accelerator (heapq, counter, bisect, decimal, etc) they are all done in the same way as the OrderedDict.
I believe this report should be re-closed as the OP has consistently adopted unreasonable positions as has been unwilling to accept the responses from the devs volunteering their time to explain the basics of private, non-guaranteed implementation details. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25315> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
