Summary: objects with __eq__ are not hashable

Initial Comment:
The following code fails with Python2.1, on both SGI
IRIX 6.5 and Linux (Suse7.1)

class A:
    _name = 'AA'
    def __init__(self,name):
        self._name = name
    def __eq__(self,a):
        if (a._name == self._name):
            return 1
        else:
            return 0
    def __str__(self):
        return self._name

a = A('abc')

c = {}

c[a] = 1


===> 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unhashable instance
