It is difficult to distinguish Mapping from Sequence because they have the same set of dunder methods. The difference is only in semantic -- __iter__ yields items for Sequence and keys for Mapping, __getitem__ gets an item by index (or a sequence by slice) for Sequence and value by key for Mapping. But semantic cannot be tested here. In these cases when both Sequence and Mapping are accepted but handled differently (like in the dict constructor) we test for existence of the "keys" method. It is not good, because it is not a dunder method, and therefore should be looked up at instance, not only at a type. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46376> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
