[New-bugs-announce] [issue23204] list.index and rest of list methods disagree if a value is in the list if it's mutated during the call

[Devin Jeanpierre]

New submission from Devin Jeanpierre:

>>> class AppendOnUnequal(object):
...     def __init__(self, append_to):
...         self.append_to = append_to
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...         if self is other:
...             return True
...         self.append_to.append(self)
...         return False
... 
>>> L = [1]; AppendOnUnequal(L) in L
True
>>> L = [1]; L.count(AppendOnUnequal(L))
1
>>> L = [1]; L.remove(AppendOnUnequal(L))
>>> L = [1]; L.index(AppendOnUnequal(L))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: <__main__.AppendOnUnequal object at 0x7f2562d071d0> is not in list


.index() is the only odd one out here. Looks like a bug to me.
