Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis...@gmail.com> added the comment: This is the expected behavior, documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#comparisons
That page says: * The comparison operators are "<" | ">" | "==" | ">=" | "<=" | "!=" | "is" ["not"] | ["not"] "in" * "Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily" * "Note that a op1 b op2 c doesn’t imply any kind of comparison between a and c, so that, e.g., x < y > z is perfectly legal (though perhaps not pretty)." So I'll close this for now. I think it would be hard to change this behavior without introducing a needless backwards-incompatibility, but if you have a proposal, you could bring it up on the Python-Ideas mailing list. ---------- nosy: +Dennis Sweeney resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45268> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
