Because this assertion is an assertion about the behaviour of comparisons that violates IEEE754, while the assertions I list are all assertions about the behaviour of containers that can be made true *regardless* of IEEE754 by checking identity explicitly.
Aren't you making something of a circular argument here? You're saying that non-reflexive comparisons are okay because they don't interfere with certain critical invariants. But you're defining those invariants as the ones that don't happen to conflict with non-reflexive comparisons! -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
