Again: There are both performance AND memory benefits to using "is not". An object-id check is much faster that an equality check, and having the same object referenced by different names instead of having copies of it that need to be equality-tested, may save tons of memory. But if you insist in using an ugly form, than in my example you may still do that - it would work just as well - while having the same memory-footprint benefits, just not the performance-benefits. :) -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
