One thing that may be worth considering is that tuples and lists with the same respective contents are not equal to each other [whereas sets and frozensets are] I do think it might be worthwhile to have a "compare two sequences" [and possibly also "hash a sequence", to match the tuple hash without making a tuple] building block as a function somewhere, so people could relatively easily make their own [perhaps even something like "__eq__ = collections.sequence_eq"] _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/L2L7FVQFHTMSOU6BE6VGFWKTIORIBPNO/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
