What do you think about this code:
class A: locals()[42] = 98
Seems people rely on it working. Do we consider it part of python language? (Note that you cannot do the same with getattr/setattr which checks if argument is a string)
Seems like a bug to me, but I don't think there is much we can do about it short of making locals a custom dict which rejects none string keys. -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson "There's no place like 127.0.0.1."
