Haven't seen the bug report, but you do realize that comparing code objects has other applications, and this pretty much kills that.
Really? It certainly seemed to me that two code objects from different places in the source ought to compare differently... it also lead to a real problem (coalescing them in co_consts). I'm genuinely curious as to what other applications comparing code objects might have. Cheers, mwh (This was my patch that I didn't get around to applying myself). -- In short, just business as usual in the wacky world of floating point <wink>. -- Tim Peters, comp.lang.python
