You keep vacillating between two positions: pick one for the context. Either you care about object identity in this context, and the above observation is relevant. Or, you don't care about object identity in this context, and you should avoid ‘is’ and use ‘==’. But you cannot have both. -- \ “You know I could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters?” | `\ —Groucho Marx | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
