The remedy is to re-write that code to be explicit about what is really wanted. There is no three-valued logic involved here. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/FP52QVMJIB6O4DJMZV2NLWC4WIKELRRY/
