R. David Murray added the comment: I was wondering the same thing recently, thanks for opening this issue.
Here is my use case: I'm implementing a PersistentList, and I want it to be equal to a 'real' list, but not equal to a tuple. Frankly, I hadn't thought about the latter problem before this issue, so my __eq__ code in my concrete class is currently broken. I'll need to explicitly check for list subclasses and PersistentList subclasses. I'm not sure there's any way to "generalize" that. I presume that's why Sequence doesn't have the methods. The answer would seem to be to have explicit 'List' and 'Tuple' abcs. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27802> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
