Which isn't the same thing:
------------------------------testit.py------------------------------
import operator
def xor(a,b):
return a and not b or b and not a
print xor(1,3), operator.xor(1,3)
------------------------------testit.py------------------------------
$ python testit.py
False 2
The user-defined xor is operates on "logical" boolean values.
The one in the operator module is a bitwise operator.
