When I looked at the table yesterday (after several years), I was initially confused at the 'reversed' order (before I checked the text above). Besides precedence usually (nearly always) being listed high to low*, the chapter itself is highest to lowest, so the table is reversed from the chapter order. * I checked K&R C and several sites and images and all I saw had highest at the top (highest). This include other Python charts. The table has been this way since at least 1.4 https://docs.python.org/release/1.4/ref/ref5.html#HDR18 Guido, how would you feel about reversing it to follow what seems to be the de facto standard? The header 'Operator' could be changed to 'Operator (lowest first)' but I would prefer to make that 'Operator (highest first)'. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum, terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
