New submission from Christoph Zwerschke <c...@online.de>:
The Python documentation says about hashability in the glossary (https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-hashable): "Objects which are instances of user-defined classes are hashable by default." This is not quite true. Objects of a user-defined class with an __eq__ method are not hashable. Maybe it would be better to make this more explicit: "Objects which are instances of user_defined classes without custom __eq__ and __hash__ methods are hashable by default." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 344042 nosy: cito, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify hashability of custom class instances type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37110> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
