R. David Murray added the comment: 2.7 can't be changed for backward compatibility reasons, and python3 enforces the restriction in dict, as you observe.
I don't know if a python2 documentation note is worthwhile, but given the conversations at pycon about adding additional -3 warnings to 2.7, it seems like this is a place such a warning would be justified. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21320> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
