>>> query_obj in s True >>> s_prime = s.copy() >>> s_prime.discard(query_obj) >>> x = s.difference(s_prime).pop() Pretty ugly, but I think it only uses a shallow copy, and it might be a bit better than iterating, if difference is intelligent. I haven't run any tests though. -- Cheers, Leif _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
