Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I would add that making the comparison "right" for partial would be trickier than it seems:
>>> from functools import partial >>> type == type True >>> 1 == 1.0 True >>> partial(type, 1)() == partial(type, 1.0)() False If partial(type, 1) and partial(type, 1.0) were to compare equal, it would break the expectation, stated by Matt, that two equal function objects produce the same results when given the same inputs. PS: >>> partial(type, 1)() <type 'int'> >>> partial(type, 1.0)() <type 'float'> ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
