Hey Etienne, I am honestly trying to understand your contribution but you seem to have started a discussion about free speech. Trust me that we don't mind your contributions, we're just trying to understand what you're saying, and the free speech discussion isn't helping with that.
I agree.
So if you have a comment on the dict mutation problem, please say so.
OK.
If you need help understanding the problem, python-dev is not the place to ask questions; you could ask on the bug, or on the core-mentorship list as Nick suggested. But please stop bringing up free speech, that's not an issue.
Guido, thanks for the wisdom and clarity of your reasoning. I really appreciate a positive attitude towards questioning not so obvious problems.
So far I was only attempting to verify whether this is related to PEP-416 or not. If this is indeed related PEP 416, then I must obviously attest that I must still understand why a immutable dict would prevent this bug or not...
Either ways, I fail to see where this is OT or should be discussed on a more obscur forum than python-dev. :-)
