Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Kent Johnson (kjohnson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: No docs for list comparison Initial Comment: AFAICT there is no documentation for the behaviour of <, > or == for sequences. == is perhaps obvious but it would be worth noting that < and > for lists and strings does a lexicographical comparison on the list elements or string characters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kent Johnson (kjohnson) Date: 2007-07-27 12:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=49695 Originator: YES Yes, that is what I was looking for. It seems a strange place for the information. Could this be cross-referenced from the Library Reference? I never even thought to look for it in the Language Ref. Other list operations are documented in http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq.html and this page discusses comparison of library types in general: http://docs.python.org/lib/comparisons.html I think it would be worth either repeating or linking to the information from the language ref on either of these pages. Thanks, Kent ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Carsten Haese (chaese) Date: 2007-07-27 12:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99003 Originator: NO http://docs.python.org/ref/comparisons.html works for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1760423&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
