Ethan Furman added the comment: + Special value which should be returned by the special methods + (:meth:`__eq__`, :meth:`__lt__`, :meth:`__add__`, etc.) to indicate + that the operation is not implemented with respect to the other type.
After a discussion on python-dev, I think this wording could be even clearer. How about: Special value which should be returned by the binary special methods (e.g. :meth:`__eq__`, :meth:`__lt__`, :meth:`__add__`, :meth:`__rsub__`, etc.) to indicate that the operation is not implemented with respect to the other type; may be returned by the in-place binary special methods (e.g. :meth:`__imul__`, :meth:`__iand__`, etc.) for the same purpose. ---------- status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22780> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
