Hi, I'm wondering what is the general way to define __hash__. I could add up all the members. But I am wondering if this would cause a performance issue for certain classes.
Regards, Peng #!/usr/bin/env python class A: def __init__(self, a, b) : self._a = a self._b = b def __str__(self): return 'A(%s, %s)' %(self._a, self._b) __repr__ = __str__ def __cmp__(self, other): if self._a < other._a: return -1 elif self._a > other._a: return 1 elif self._b < other._b: return -1 elif self._b > other._b: return 1 else: return 0 def __hash__(self): return self._a + self._b if __name__ == '__main__': x = A(1, 1) aset = set() aset.add(x) print aset -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
