New submission from Daniel Stutzbach <dan...@stutzbachenterprises.com>:
reference/expressions.html#notin reads: "Mappings (dictionaries) compare equal if and only if their sorted (key, value) lists compare equal. [4] Outcomes other than equality are resolved consistently, but are not otherwise defined. [5]" However, the last sentence is no longer true. I suggest changing the last sentence to: "Comparisons other than equality testing raise a TypeError." I think the footnote [5] is sufficiently historical that it could be removed as well. Alternately, it could be updated to read, "In older versions of Python, outcomes other than equality were resolved consistently but were not otherwise defined." ---------- assignee: d...@python components: Documentation messages: 109009 nosy: d...@python, stutzbach priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Documentation for comparing dictionaries is out of date versions: Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
