Fred L. Drake, Jr. added the comment: I don't recall that the issues discussed here were considered when these classes were added; functionality was the issue at the time.
I'm not particularly opposed to adding a more data-ful repr for the weakref-oriented mappings, but I'm not really convinced they'd be all that valuable, either. Interesting mappings are often too well populated to deal with using repr. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28278> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
