I think that chaining should be limited to: A) all operators are "=" B) all operators are "is" C) all operators are either >= or > D) all operators are either <= or < There's no other scenario, if the operators have natural meanings, that it would actually be natural to write it that way. (Actually, I'm not entirely convinced any harm would be done by allowing you to put "is"/= anywhere, but there certainly shouldn't be opposite direction comparisons, "is not", !=, or "in".) Certainly I think this should be enforced by any sort of lint tool, even if the other uses are not actually removed from the language. I also think it should be part of PEP 8. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
