[Jython-bugs] [issue1728] comparing dict and derived dict in a list

[Kurt M. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Kurt McKee <con...@ku...>:

While porting feedparser to Jython (Release_2_5_2:7206) I ran into a problem with some of the unit tests and tracked it down to the following:

class A(dict): pass
A() == dict() # True
[A()] == [dict()] # False, but probably should be True

Wrapping an empty dict and an empty derived dict in a list doesn't seem like the two should compare unequally. I searched for any existing issues and found issue 1804011; this might be related.
