Hello,
In http://docs.python.org/release/3.2.3/reference/expressions.html#in
we read: "[...] This can create the illusion of non-transitivity between
supported cross-type comparisons and unsupported comparisons. For
example, Decimal(2) == 2 and 2 == float(2) but Decimal(2) != float(2)."
(The same is in the 3.3 docs).
But:
Python 3.2.3 (default, Sep 10 2012, 18:14:40)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.Decimal(2) == float(2)
True
Is it a bug in the docs or in Python itself? (I checked that in 3.2,
but it may be true for 3.3 as well)
Regards.
