Huh. So it is. rosuav@sikorsky:~$ python3 Python 3.5.0a0 (default:301b9a58021c, Oct 2 2014, 09:20:24) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import operator >>> operator.add, operator.__add__ (<built-in function add>, <built-in function add>) >>> 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. >>> import operator >>> operator.add, operator.__add__ (<built-in function add>, <built-in function __add__>) >>> Presumably they have the same code behind them, just different function names. But anyway, the fact that it doesn't throw back an AttributeError proves that both functions do at least exist. Learn something new every day!
