[Python-Dev] Dicts are broken Was: unicode hell/mixing str and unicode asdictionarykeys

[Josiah Carlson]

There's one problem with generating a warning for 2.5, and that is the
same problem as generating a warning for possible packages that lack an
__init__.py; users may start to get a bunch of warnings, and be unaware
of how to suppress them.

All in all though, I'm +0 on the warning, and +1 on it not raising an
exception in 2.5 .
