No. Everywhere when __eq__ fails, we can safely tell the user that it's a bug in their __eq__ that they should fix (maybe by making it return False when the other object isn't a type they recognize). But we can't fix unicode-vs-str comparison without breaking too much code. So we have to somehow deal with that without changing the behavior of that particular __eq__. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
