The docs look correct to me:

    >>> class A:
            pass

    >>> hash(A())
    274859987

User defined classes are in-fact hashable by default.  Other methods can be defined to change hashability, but they are not the default.

FWIW, it isn't the purpose of the glossary to be a language spec; rather, it is to provide a rough meaning of what the word "hashable" means.  Already, the wording has exceeded its original intent.  The correct place for a more detailed specification in the language reference for object.__hash__():

   https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html?highlight=__hash__#object.__hash__

Thank you for the suggestion, but we'll pass on this one.
