James Hutchison <jamesghutchi...@gmail.com> added the comment: Is there a way to get this so it behaves more intuitively? You'd think adding a managed list to a managed dictionary (or another managed list) or making a deep copy would work but it still doesn't. When you get an item from a managed data structure, it seems to be returning a data-only copy of the object instead of a handle to the manager of the object. The fact that += (extend) works but .extend() doesn't work also seems to raise a flag for me (although I do understand why this is). I don't think it should behave this way.
i.e.: currently: d['l'] -> return copy.deepcopy(d['l']) should be: d['l'] -> return managerObject(d['l']) where managerObject is a managed object that runs on the same process as the manager it came from Problem: Currently there is no easy way to do random access without copying out and copying back in. I'd think that would be a real efficiency problem. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9801> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
