Raymond Hettinger added the comment: This is an intentional design choice. One reason for tightly coupling OrderedDict to dict was to preserve freedom for a C-implementation. Another reason was for performance. IIRC, using super() in __setitem__ slowed the OD from 10x slower than dicts to 20x.
Non-cooperative classes (of which Python has many) can be wrapped to make the classes cooperative. The technique is discussed in the blog post https://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/super-considered-super/ . ---------- resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24685> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
