There's no clear-cut distinction. The rule of thumb I usually
apply is that questions about the *language* (its syntax, its
usage, its idioms etc.) an
st way is probably to have a
_equal_fields() method that subclasses override, returning a tuple of the
attributes that should be hashed. Then in __hash__() and __eq__ you iterate
over the returned tuple, get the value for each attribute and either hash
or compare.
Of course, you have to take into account in __eq__ that the other instance
may not have the same attributes (e.g. self is a subclass that uses extra
attributes in its __hash__ and __eq__).

Python 3. In Python 3, "print" is a function that returns
None. So, the error is exactly correct. To fix it, you need to have the %
operator operate on the string, not on the result of the "print" function:

Did you download the x86 version? That will not work. There are Ubuntu
