Mark Dickinson <[email protected]> added the comment:
To clarify, are you referring to this behaviour?
>>> a = {1, 2, 3}
>>> b = {1.0, 4.0}
>>> a.intersection(b) # expect {1}
{1.0}
I'd personally expect this to be implementation-dependent: since for set
operations you usually only care about objects up to equality, it would be a
bit unusual to care whether you get {1} or {1.0} in the above situation, and
I'd say the implementation should be free to do whatever's convenient. Making
documented guarantees would unnecessarily constrain other implementations.
I suppose one could document the *lack* of a guarantee here ...
