Raymond Hettinger added the comment: My only aversion to raising an exception is that it goes against the original intent of maxlen as giving an automatic-pop-to-make-room behavior.
Rather that introduce a discontinuity, I like the "smoothness" of letting d.insert(len(d), obj) follow the insert-normally-then-pop-from-the-right rule as opposed to having a special case. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
