So can we discuss how a unified method to get a set of all valid

thing to have without getting bogged down in theoretical claptrap about
the meaning of the mapping contract?
We can discuss anything here until the cows come home, but it's a
complete waste of time if the powers that be over on python-ideas
and/or python-dev don't agree. This was suggested a day or two back
but seems to have gone completely over people's heads.
Just because you are not interested, doesn't mean it's a complete waste of time.
Discussions like this often enough produce suggestions on how one could handle
these things within python without the need for the powers that be to agree on
anything.
If you are not interested just don't contribute. Others can make up their own
mind on whether this is a waste of their time or not.
Who said I'm not interested? It is a simple fact of life in Python
world that anything that gets discussed has to go through python-dev,
and possibly python-ideas first. You can spend years discussing
anything you like here and get 100% agreement, but if the devlopers say
no it does not happen.
I believe that this proposal is like trying to change the design of the
Morris Minor and a McClaren Mercedes because they're both cars, so you
can make them similar.
