Usually, setting hash to None is the proper way to turn-off hashability. And it's possible that existing code has subclassed Number and provided other methods but not __hash__, so this could potentially break their code. On the other hand, it would be desirable to prevent instantiation, perhaps using some other mechanism would be better. I'll take a deeper look at this when I get a chance. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue16837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
