True, but I don't think Python goes as far as to promise that objects pickled in one version can be unpickled in previous versions. > Second, namedtuple is slower and larger than tuple, so it shouldn't be used > in memory or performance critical code. True, but I doubt that such tuples are often used extensively in performance-critical areas of code. Also, code which does care about this could immediately convert these namedtuples into plain tuples, which would be backwards compatible. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24416> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
