Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Gerrit Holl (gerrit) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Incorrect error message (somewhat) Initial Comment: Comparing complex numbers with cmp yields: >>> cmp(1+3j, 1+3j) 0 >>> cmp(1+3j, 3+4j) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: cannot compare complex numbers using <, <=, >, >= Well, I didn't use <, <=, > or >=. It's not a major bug, but it doesn't look too nice... would it be possible to return NotImplemented? Or would that be semantically incorrect? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2004-12-10 12:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 That is incorrect be == and != are implemented. The message is slightly weird but still helpful. Any rewording I can think of makes the message more obtuse, so I recommend leaving it alone and closing this bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1079011&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
