When functools.total_ordering (whether it lands in functools is open) lands that section should be amended in the lines of the following: "There are no implied relationships among the comparison operators. The truth of x==y does not imply that x!=y is false. Accordingly, when defining __eq__(), one should also define __ne__() so that the operators will behave as expected. However, given a class defining one or more ordering methods, `functools.total_ordering`_ class decorator can be used to fill in the rest. Please see the documentation of `functools.total_ordering`_ for further details." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
