(l is False) is not a tuple or list, it's a boolean value. > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? > TypeError: iterable argument required >>>> (0 in l) is False > True 0 in l is False becuase l is empty, so it's False is False which is true, (except in Intercal probably and Visual C++) >>>> 0 in l is False > False l is False is False because l is not the value false though it has a false value (err.....) Okay. l != False because it's not the displayed value false but if not l would evaluated to true because [] is a false equivalent. 0 in False .... okay.... this should be an error ..... something to do with the equivalence confusion of what False is ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
