If we were to ship a "chaos" mode in the CPython interpreter itself, I assume you envision an interpreter flag and/or env var? If it required someone compiling the interpreter a special way I don't think it would be widely adopted within continuous integration testing systems. I was actually pondering doing a "chaos" mode of sorts at work because I have the power to cause everyone's tests to be run that way mode by default. (I'd basically just disable interning and str/int singletons) But while it's a nice idea, it's low on my work priorities. While we had thousands of is literal comparisons that we're about to fix en-masse, they are only a tiny fraction of all literal comparisons in our codebase. And pylint is now more widely used which should help prevent new ones. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
