What do you mean "stopped working"? > So it seems that comparing a too complex value isn't allowed. the > variable was something like: > > A = [ <ndarray>, <ndarray>, ..., [<color>,<color>,...], [<float>, > <float>, ... ] ] Doesn't seem complex to me, and I daresay probably not to Python either -- although a lot depends on what "ndarray" and "colour" are. > So what I need was something like: > if A != A_prev : > ... do something > A_prev = A > > And this crashes, or at least it doesn't work but also doesn't generate > exceptions.
