My only excuse is that I've been up to 02:30 for the last three nights running (or maybe it's the ageing process, a cerebrovascular accident or something). I just checked a class I recently wrote specifically for the purposes of hashing a dict (in case I had made this error IRL). Wouldn't you know it, it's subclassed to tuple, and defines both __eq__ and __cmp__. Luckily when I write production code the guy who knows what he's doing takes over. And this in an app which compares keys from different pickled files (representing DB holdings)?! Of all things. I can't believe how unfathomably stupid I've been. I'm extremely embarassed. I think I'll just go out and shoot myself now. Or get some sleep. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
