It may be obvious, but it's not necessarily true. Some commonly-used values – for example, an “null” – are not equal to themselves, by definition. It is fine to define such a type in Python, because ‘is’ does not necessarily imply ‘==’. > I would also argue that the "in" operator *SHOULD* be using equality > of value. Hopefully you can see how that argument is incorrect. -- \ “Yesterday I told a chicken to cross the road.
