Andy Maier added the comment: Terry, I'd like to comment on your statement: > 3. By default, == and /= compare identities. in msg148774.
What experiment lead you to that conclusion? Here is one that contradicts it (using cpython 3.4.1): >>> i1 = 42 >>> f1 = 42.0 >>> i1 == f1 True >>> i1 is f1 False Is it possible, that your experiment got influenced by the optimization that attempts to reuse existing objects of immutable types? Like in this: >>> i1 = 42 >>> i2 = 40 + 2 >>> i1 == i2 True >>> i1 is i2 True Andy ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12067> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
