Hi everybody, while testing a module today I stumbled on something that I can work around but I don't quite understand.
>>> a = "a" >>> b = "a" >>> a == b True >>> a is b True >>> c = "/a" >>> d = "/a" >>> c == d True # all good so far >>> c is d False # eeeeek! Why c and d point to two different objects with an identical string content rather than the same object? Manu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
