I am facing a problem where I am really confused about it. I am trying to compare to instances using:
if inst1 == inst2 These instances have a overridden method __str__ which returns same string. The condition result is true although they are different instances. If I use: if id(inst1) == id(inst2) The results is false. What's happening here? If I am trying to store this pair in a set where other instances are already stored, but it's not storing it. Although I am sure that there is no pair already stored of same but even if Set is comparing by using string return by __str__ method then it won't. How do I solve this? Is this mean when you have overridden __str__ method then it comapre with results of __str__ or else it will comapre whether they are the same instances? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
