Ammar Askar added the comment: Check out this section of the documentation, notably this part:
"Note that comparisons, membership tests, and identity tests, all have the same precedence and have a left-to-right chaining feature" Chaining lets you write stuff like this: >>> x = 1 >>> 0 < x < 2 True And since membership tests and identity tests are chained, the code you posted above essentially turns into: (1 in [1]) and ([1] is True) The former part of that expression is True but the latter is false. ---------- nosy: +ammar2 resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30965> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
