Do you have a link to that? Googling king .net threads got me some strange results . What made it particularly sane? On Thu, 20 Jun 2019, 23:59 Michael Foord, wrote: > > > On Thu, 20 Jun 2019 at 06:15, Matúš Valo wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> Currently it is not possible to "kill" thread which

[Python-ideas] help() with operators [was: Comparison operator support (>= and <=) for type]

Python's own docs' search doesn't seem to recognize the <= symbol. Google does, but if one doesn't know that, then one won't try it. Google inconsistently decides when and which symbols are considered word chars, and I don't know whether the rules are even documented. Perhaps `help` should be the
