New submission from Joshua Bronson: Is it intentional that the second assertion in the following code fails?
``` from collections import OrderedDict d = dict(C='carbon') o = OrderedDict(d) assert d == o assert d.viewitems() == o.viewitems() ``` Since d == o, I'm surprised that d.viewitems() != o.viewitems(). If that's intentional, I'd love to understand the rationale. Note: I hit this while testing a library I authored, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bidict, which provides a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_map implementation for Python, so I'm especially keen to understand all the subtleties in this area. Thanks in advance. ---------- messages: 244066 nosy: jab priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Should OrderedDict.viewitems compare equal to dict.viewitems when the items are equal? versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24286> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
