I think type consistency is important if it can be achieved reasonably simply. In the dict and set case, I'm not sure you can recreate the internal table in the same order (even accross interpreter restarts). In this case, you should just check that the unpickled data is a subclass of collections.abc.Iterator. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14288> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
