All humour aside, let's not ruin the chances of this patch being accepted by overloading it. I think there is a good use-case for partial objects to compare equal if they were constructed with arguments that compare equal. That's a nice, conservative change that is unlikely to lead to bugs, unlike some of the more "clever" proposals that rely on mathematical equivalences that don't hold for Python objects. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ 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
