The floating point one is just an example, it's not meant to be the entire justification. Some others: * Numeric arrays, where comparisons return an array of booleans resulting from applying the comparison to each element. * Computer algebra systems and such like, which return a parse tree as a result of evaluating an expression. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
