Maybe at first sight, but look: Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin >>> C = 'red', 'green' >>> [light is 'green' for light in C] [False, False]
NB: I have to quit Python each time and reload to make sure the workspace hasn't been polluted by some other definition. The problem is I teach the Python language, and this is no easy to explain behavior, unless it has something to do with interning strings for performance reasons in a for context, but even so, this isn't obvious for beginners. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
