Sounds to me like containment checking is wrong; that if it gets an exception during the comparison that it should assume unequal, rather than aborting, and continue to the next entry.
What exception would it catch, though? Catching something as generic as TypeError would be a very bad idea, I think -- there would be too much potential for it to mask bugs. It might be acceptable if there were a special subclass of TypeError for this, such as NotComparableError. What happens in Py3 here, BTW? It must have the same problem if it refuses to compare some things for equality. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
