If I can spend my two cents, I think the fact the most of you prefer | is because is already how sets works. And IMHO it's a bit illogical, since sets also support -. So I do not understand why | was chosen instead of +. Furthermore, sets supports < operator, that gives you the false hope that sets can be sorted. But it's not. So I don't think sets are *not* a good example. On the contrary, I feel so **natural** to see dict1 + dict2.
Furthermore, the problem is: what is better for generic functions? Maybe I need a generic function that, in its code, do also a sum of input objects. Maybe I want to support also dict. In this way writing such function is much more hard. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/GAXPZEUWV2R6LTOD4GKDOIKQRIGNSJWN/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
