Why? That's like saying: "I could write y = x+2 in Python, but y = 1+x+1 will work too, so I'll write that instead, just in case." Yes, I suppose that there are buggy Python implementations where x+2 doesn't work correctly but 1+x+1 does, and there might be stupid data types that are the same, but do you really need to support such badly-behaved objects? -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
