Well, it's not about curiosity, it's more about performance. I will make a PHP example (a really quite simple ) PHP : Stat 1 : $aVeryLongString == $anOtherVeryLongString Stat 2 : $aVeryLongString === $anOtherVeryLongString Stat 2 is really faster than Stat 1 (due to the binary comparison) As I said, I'm coming from PHP, so I was wondering if there was such a difference in Python. Because I was trying to use "is" as for "===". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
