I can see that making generators unhashable would have found your bug earlier, but it is otherwise unjustified: generators are just objects that are compared by identity. It would break other people's code, which is a very invasive change to make just so that a small subset of "forgot to call tuple" bugs might sometimes be found earlier. Personally, I think that Serhiy's comment that there is "a chance" that this will be accepted is over-optimistic, but either way this would need to have a PEP. I'm going to close this as "Not a bug" but that doesn't mean discussion has to stop. If you feel strongly enough about this issue to write a PEP proposing this change, please take the discussion to the Python-Dev mailing list with a summary and see if you can get somebody to sponsor the PEP. If you do, feel free to re-open as an Enhancement. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38769> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
