[Python-Dev] Strange behavior in Python 2.5a0 (trunk) --- possible error in AST?

[Travis E. Oliphant]

I'm seeing strange behavior in the Python 2.5a0 trunk that is causing 
the tests for numpy to fail.  Apparently obj[...] = 1 is not calling 
PyObject_SetItem

Here is a minimal example to show the error.  Does anyone else see this?

class temp(object):
        def __setitem__(self, obj, v):
            print obj, v

mine = temp()
mine[...] = 1
mine[0] = 1


Output from Python 2.4.2:
Ellipsis 1
0 1


Output from Python 2.5a0:
0 1


In other words, the first line does nothing in Python 2.5a0.


Does anybody else see this?

Thanks,

-Travis
