Message105591
On python-dev came up an idea [1] to support equality (== and !=) and hashing by functools.partial instances. Van Lindberg provided an implementation written in Python [2]. I've made a very similar implementation in C (in Modules/_functoolsmodule.c). The Python equivalent of my code is in Lib/test/test_functools.py as the PythonPartialCls class. The hashing differs a little from Van Lindberg's implementation: I'm computing the "normal form" of the dict as the sorted list of its items (not as the sorted list of the keys followed by the items). (It was easier to implement this way.)
I haven't made a lot of Python programming in C, so I'm not sure I made everything in the right way (especially the reference counting). Anyway, I'm attaching my patch. I'd appreciate every suggestion, and will try to correct my mistakes.
Thanks!
