[Python-ideas] List Revolution

[Massimo Di Pierro]

So you are saying that with my code (which was meant as joke not as serious proposal) you can do

a = List()
getattr(a,'(2**1024)**(2**1024)')

and that is a vulnerability? But you can already do

a = []
a[(2**1024)**(2**1024)]

or simply

(2**1024)**(2**1024)

The ability write insane code is not a vulnerability. It is a feature. Exposing that to users may constitute a vulnerability.
