I would also have preferred to use the operators <, >, <=, >=, and ==. The docs in the patch explain why we can't go down this path. Also, while counters have support for multiset operations, they continue to support other use cases a well (negative counts and fractional counts). That support can't be removed without breaking existing code that relies on it. >From the outset, a Counter was just a dictionary that return 0 for missing >keys. Users are free to use that concept however they want. ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40755> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
