I'm sorry, I cannot decipher what you mean here. I can't tell whether you are talking about element containment (the `in` operator) or range checking in the sense of `low <= value <= high`. I thought you were talking about classical range checking but then you mentioned lists and you confused me. Especially the comment about "a kind of PyObject" -- all values in Python are objects, so I don't understand why you mention it. Can you explain what happens if you try to match the value 15 against the following "ranges" (match or no match) please? 1. range(2, 20) 3. [2, 20] 3. [2, 20, 15] 4. [None, 'hello'] Now how about the value 12.5 -- will that match? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/S2URYZSBV5L4MTCAM5PQCWYVZ7OZHX2Z/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
