I'm reluctant to introduce changes like this, especially in the middle of a loop. This code and code like it has been nonproblematic for Python's 26 year history. The code throughout tupleobject.c assumes well-formed tuples (for example, tuplecontains and tupleitem do not have NULL checks before dereferencing). At some point, the C code just has to trust its own structure invariants and people who run marshal or pickle have to trust their inputs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27826> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
