See the language reference: "Formally, if a, b, c, ..., y, z are expressions and op1, op2, ..., opN are comparison operators, then a op1 b op2 c ... y opN z is equivalent to a op1 b and b op2 c and ... y opN z, except that each expression is evaluated at most once." The last restriction (single evaluation of involved expressions) makes this a bit more than raw syntactic sugar. -- Alain. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
