But the point is that there are a lot of these broken objects out there; this one was on a 5-star recipe that has been around for a while, and still no one caught it. That suggests the bug could reasonably be in any 3rd-party library. The existence of a (common) bug in someone else's code shouldn't keep me from using a dictionary of objects. hash was just changed to support the common use of id, even though some people argued it was *really* a bug in the classes themselves. This is a similar situation. -jJ _______________________________________________ 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
