Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Mark, Serhiy and Timmy, do you have any thoughts on what is the right behavior?
One option is to always pop the rightmost element to make room, but that results in a weird asymmetry between d.insert(len(d), item) and what d.append(item) would do. I can't seem to come with a coherent set of invariants that doesn't have a surprising discontinuity. Another option is to "refuse the temptation to guess" at what the user intends for the popped-off element to be and to raise an exception. But that isn't very user friendly either. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson, serhiy.storchaka, tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26194> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
