Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: tp_richcompare is less convenient to implement than tp_compare. See for example how in Objects/longobject.c, long_richcompare() calls long_compare() *and* a helper method Py_CmpToRich.
Likewise, turning __cmp__ into the whole set of __lt__, __le__, __ge__, __gt__, __eq__, __ne__ methods (did I forget one?) is tedious. I'm not talking for my own code, but for the python standard objects and library (and the Demo directory) where I'm currently trying to remove __cmp__ and tp_compare. I am not far to write a hack (mixin, metaclass) to inject rich comparison functions based on a single __cmp__ function. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1717> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
