The two strings a different, that's why Python returns False. a = U+0627 U+0646 U+062f U+064a U+0645 U+0634 U+06a9 b = U+0627 U+0646 U+062f U+06cc U+0645 U+0634 U+06a9 U+064a != U+06cc >>> unicodedata.name('\u064a') 'ARABIC LETTER YEH' >>> unicodedata.name('\u06cc') 'ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH' Python doesn't know arabic, it only compares code pointers: the number 0x064a is not equal to the number 0x06cc. It's not a bug, but a deliberate choice. ---------- nosy: +vstinner resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42511> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
