Currently that assertion fails. Should it? Putting aside the convenience of "do nothing, just inherit the object.__eq__ behaviour" do you think that the current behaviour is *correct*?
What I'm getting from this thread is that there are a variety of possible behaviours for dict values comparison, any of which could be considered "correct" depending on what the programmer is trying to do. I know there are good reasons for the guideline that equality comparisons should never raise exceptions, but this seems like a situation where Python really should slap you on the ear and make you specify exactly what you want. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/WR2JGENQBL3EQ6ZUUFF2BPMMFTFDEH3R/
