[Python-Dev] Intricacies of calling eq (original) (raw)

Hi

I have a question about calling eq in some cases.

We're thinking about doing an optimization where say:

if x in d: return d[x]

where d is a dict would result in only one dict lookup (the second one being constant folded away). The question is whether it's ok to do it, despite the fact that it changes the semantics on how many times eq is called on x.

Cheers, fijal
