Are you saying you would expect that
>>> nan = float('nan')
>>> a = [1, ..., 499, nan, 501, ..., 999] # meta-ellipsis, not Ellipsis
>>> a == a
False
??
I wouldn't even expect
>>> a = [1, ..., 499, float('nan'), 501, ..., 999]
>>> b = [1, ..., 499, float('nan'), 501, ..., 999]
>>> a == b
False
but I guess I have to live with that.<wink> While I wouldn't apply it
to other people, I have to admit Raymond's aphorism applies to me (the
surprising thing is not the behavior of NaNs, but that I'm surprised
by anything that happens in the presence of NaNs!)
