Python doesn't have operator overloading like C does. What you can do is
define what the operators will do when used with a custom class. You will
see code like this:
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self, value) :
self.value = value
def __add__(self, other) : #determines what happens when you have Foo +
something
return (self or other)
def __nonzero__(self) : #determines if the object evaluates to True
return bool(self.value)
Now you can call
>>> bool(Foo(True) + Foo(False))
True
>>> bool(Foo(False) + Foo(False))
False
If you don't cast it to a bool, , you will get something that looks like
<__main__.Foo object at 0x86170>, but it will still work as an argument to a
conditional.
