Stefan Behnel <stefan...@behnel.de> added the comment: > cmp(a,b) can be replaced with (a>b)-(a<b)
That is assuming that "a > b" and "a < b" both return something that supports the minus operator, such as a boolean value. That might not be the case, and it is definitely impossible to infer automatically from a given piece of code. Besides, even if the transformation happens to be correct in a given case, the result is definitely also very difficult to read and understand. IMHO, "but it keeps working" isn't enough of an argument here. ---------- nosy: +scoder _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32915> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
