Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Changing PyObject_Repr is too course; it affects a broad class of objects other than containers, and it risks unknown impacts to larges swaths of third-party code use this venerable API. It is also a break with the long established history of recursion detection being a responsibility of the individual types (i.e. the code in sets, lists, dicts, etc.)
The three cases listed here should be fixed individually. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25455> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
