It seems to me that it orders elements when you add using the add() method, but if you create a set starting from a list, it may result unordered. Anyway, the add() fails to order if you try to add a float in a set of integers. > By the way, sorted(s) is sufficient; sorted() accepts arbitrary iterables. I'll try with this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
