python - Is it a good idea to generate and store a random number as a hash value for my class? -

i have class wraps list, , lists apparently can't have hash values. idea generate random number , store hash value.

not idea. general contract of hash code if object equals object b, a.hashcode() equals b.hashcode(). you're proposing wont hold.

you try using

• list length hash code
• hash code of first item in list hashcode
• sum of hashcodes of items hashcode

or else along these lines.
