Josh Rosenberg added the comment: Serhiy, doesn't this patch "fix" the issue by making subclasses with custom __getitem__/__delitem__ implementations not have them invoked by the superclass's pop/popitem?
The old code meant that pop and popitem didn't need to be overridden even if you overrode __getitem__/__delitem__ in a way that differed from the default (e.g. __setitem__ might add some tracking data to the value that __getitem__ strips). Now they must be overwritten. The expiringdict's flaw seems to be that its __contains__ call and its __getitem__ are not idempotent, which the original code assumed (reasonably) they would be. The original code should probably be restored here. The general PyObject_GetItem/DelItem are needed to work with arbitrary subclasses correctly. The Sequence_Contains check is needed to avoid accidentally invoking __missing__ (though if __missing__ is not defined for the subclass, the Sequence_Contains check could be skipped). The only reason OrderedDict has the problem and dict doesn't is that OrderedDict was trying to be subclassing friendly (perhaps to ensure it remains compatible with code that subclassed the old Python implementation), while dict makes no such efforts. dict happily bypasses custom __getitem__/__delitem__ calls when it uses pop/popitem. ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
