Hello,

Recent Python versions randomize the hashes of str, bytes and datetime objects.  I suppose that the choice of these three types is the result of a compromise.  Has this been discussed somewhere publicly?

Search archives of this list... it was discussed at length.

I'm not a web programmer, but don't web applications also use dictionaries that are indexed by, say, tuples of integers?

Sure, and that is the biggest part of the reason they were randomized.  I think hashes of all types have been randomized, not _just_ the list you mentioned.
