Your analysis is flawed - you're testing the equality of the types, not of instances. But your conclusion's correct; testing instances does work the same way you're implying: rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Mar 13 2014, 11:03:55) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> class x(object): pass ... >>> class y(object): pass ... >>> x() != y() True >>> x() == y() False >>> x() == x() False >>> z = x() >>> z == z True ChrisA _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
