#9508 closed (fixed)

FieldFile should define __hash__

Description

FieldFile defines __eq__ to compare on the name field, but does not define __hash__, hence two FieldFile will be equal but have a different hash. Example:

from django.db.models.fields.files import FileField, FieldFile

f = FileField(upload_to='dir')
ff1 = FieldFile(None, f, 'dir/file.ext')
ff2 = FieldFile(None, f, 'dir/file.ext')

print 'Equal?', ff1 == ff2
print 'Hashes are equal?', hash(ff1) == hash(ff2)

I suggest adding the following to FieldFile:

def __hash__(self):
    return hash(self.name)

I haven't attached a patch because the change is only two lines - I'm happy too if requested.

I noticed this because I'm comparing objects in different databases by comparing the hash of each of their fields.

(In [9997]) Fixed #9508 -- Added an appropriate FileField.hash implementation.

Required because we declare a custom eq method.
