Right. And the rule is that if two objects compare equal, then they
must also hash equal. Unfortunately, it looks like `oofun` objects do
not obey this property. oofun.__eq__() seems to return a Constraint
rather than a bool, so oofun objects should simply not be used as
dictionary keys. That's quite possibly the source of the bug. Or at
least, that's a bug that needs to get fixed first before attempting to
debug anything else or attribute bugs to Python or numpy. Also, the
lack of a bool-returning __eq__() will prevent proper sorting, which
also seems to be used in the code snippet that Dmitrey showed.
