#16447 closed Bug (fixed)

settings_changed signal uses strings for sender

Reported by: Alex Gaynor Owned by: nobody
Component: Testing framework Version: dev
Severity: Normal Keywords:

Description

Since internally the sender is represented by the id() this is not valid, because there's no guarntee 2 strings of the same value have the same id(). This reproduces easily with PyPy:

but it would also be possible to reproduce with CPython.

Fixed #16447 -- Stopped using the setting name as the sender parameter for the setting_changed signal. Thanks, Alex Gaynor.
