Lennart Regebro <rege...@gmail.com> added the comment: We *do* care about NotImplemented, that's the whole point of this bug report. I don't see how this is a problem in the new_total_ordering.py example. Can you give an example of when you get a stack overflow?
The examples in new_total_ordering are in themselves badly implemented, as they do check of the class with an isinstance, but if it is not the correct instance, they will return False or raise a TypeError. That's wrong, they should return NotImplemented, to give the other class a chance. But that is not a problem for the tests, it's only a problem if you use the tests as examples of how to implement a comparable class. But in no case am I able to get a stack overflow here, which I can with the old total_ordering recipe. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10042> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
