I posted a message on this several days ago, but it apparently got lost in googlespace, so I'll try it again.
I recently discovered a bug in my code that apparently resulted from the automatic conversion of a function pointer to an integer. Say you have a class member function called getCount(), which returns an integer. Now suppose you write something like if obj.getCount < 3: ... This is an error because the parentheses were left off. But Python somehow compares the function pointer with an integer without complaining. Unless there is a darn good reason for allowing comparisons of this type (and I can't think of one), I think Python should flag this as an Exception. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
