[Jython-bugs] [issue1650] deque only does not accept maxlen

[Eric <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Eric <esa...@wi...>:

the data structure deque from the collections module is documented as allowing a maxlen argument. 

code:
from collections import deque
d = deque([], 5)

results in:
deque() takes at most 1 arguments (2 given)

deque([], maxlen=5)
deque() does not take keyword arguments.

Either way, there is no way to specify a maximum length on the deque object
