[Jython-dev] re: status of set.py?

[Greg W. <Gre...@ba...>]

Hi, all.  Seems that SourceForge doesn't believe in Guido ---
neither SF itself, nor GeoCrawler, has archived his message
about a better way to implement sets.  So:

1. I think it's a cool idea.

2. But it doesn't work for Jython (since it depends on accessing
   the reference count of the underlying implementation object,
   which I understand isn't possible in Jython).

How big an obstacle is this?  I.e., is incompatibility with
Jython presently considered a show-stopper?  (Python's interop
with Java is one of the big selling points from a teaching
point of view; I'm uncomfortable doing anything to compromise
that.)

RSVP,
Greg
