I think this is a bit exagerated. The performance issues will only appear if you have huge dicts and sets. The issue Raymond raised is the potential impossibility of making the change /after/ we settle on a stable ABI. The question is whether the ABI will be enforced starting from 3.2, or from a later date. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
