I have a question from the pyar list that may have been discussed on this list, but i didn't catch it. Have some common objects been somewhat hardcoded into python, like some integers as shown in the examples below? What other object have been hardcoded (strings ,etc) and what was the criteria used to select them? Any hints? cheers, - Seb
>>> p = 500 >>> q = 500 >>> p == q True >>> p is q False >>> n = 50 >>> m = 50 >>> n == m True >>> n is m True >>> p = 500; q = 500 >>> p is q True >>> for i in range(-20,258): ... a = i ... b = i+0 ... if not (a is b): print i ... -20 -19 -18 -17 -16 -15 -14 -13 -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 257
