One other thought: We should add a note to the docs for all of the serialization formats saying that we specifically disclaim that they will always generate exactly the same output byte-for-byte. When Serhiy made some small optimizations to the encoding of pickles, it would have broken any test that checked byte-level equality rather than semantic level equality (checked by making sure the pickle/unpickle steps would round-trip without loss of information). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34160> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
