[Python-Dev] subclasses() return order (original) (raw)

Hello,

In http://bugs.python.org/issue17936, I proposed making tp_subclasses (the internal container implementing object.subclasses) a dict. This would make the return order of subclasses completely undefined, while it is right now slightly predictable. I have never seen subclasses actually used in production code, so I'm wondering whether someone might be affected by such a change.

Regards

Antoine.
