[Python-Dev] Need help with SF bug #112558

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

  I'd like some help with fixing a bug in dictobject.c.  The bug is on
SourceForge as #112558, and my attempted fix is SourceForge patch
#101277.
  The original bug is that exceptions raised by an object's __cmp__()
during dictionary lookup are not cleared, and can be propogated during
a subsequent lookup attempt.  I've made more detailed comments at
SourceForge at the patch:

http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101277&group_id=5470

  Thanks for any suggestions!


  -Fred
