Ordinary binary operators not only combine things of the same type, they also produce a thing of that same type. So 'in' does not fit among them either. I feel it's _more_ at home among comparison operators. (Hm. That's 'operator' in a different sense.) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
