Seeing this thread, I think the is statment should be removed. It has a replacement syntax of id(x) == id(y)
The thread is wrong then. If the implementation reuses ids, which CPython does, <expression-1> is <expression-2> must be implemented as internal-tem1 = <expression-1> internal-tem2 = <expression-2> id(internal-tem1) == id(internal-tem2) in order to ensure that the two objects exist simultaneously, so that the id comparison is valid. > and "a==True" should be automatically changed into memory comparison. I have no idea what that means. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
