I've thought about this a bit, and I think it's a red herring. I've seen some places where 'is' is used to compare constants (e.g. sre_compare.py). But I'm pretty sure that this is a speed hack that can safely be forgotten once (if ever) we have a switch statement. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
