I search for peps with google, and I suppose the 'explanation' section, as well as the developer faq and subversion instructions, are good pages that deserve to be in the google index.

What would happen if 'x' were to be an object whose class has a __eq__ that is defined in an odd way, e.g. having side effects? Might this mean behaviour change even if 'x' is a local variable? yours, Gerrit Holl. -- Weather in Twenthe, Netherlands 18/06 17:25: 24.0°C wind 3.1 m/s NE (57 m above NAP) -- In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

I haven't read the rest of the thread Once, there was a path-related pre-PEP. http://topjaklont.student.utwente.nl/creaties/path/pep-.html It was never finished, nor am I working on it, but it's public domain. Just wanted to remind potential PEP-authors. regards, Gerrit. -- Weather in Twenthe, Netherlands 29/06 10:55: 18.0°C Few clouds mostly cloudy wind 1.3 m/s None (57 m above NAP) -- In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
