When is it ever necessary to compare for identity?
Ho-hum. MUDD game.
def broadcast (sender, message):
for p in all_players:
if p is not sender:
p.tell (message) # don't send a message to oneself
Since in a MUD game, a player would always have a unique username, I'd
rather compare with that. It doesn't rely on some internals. There is
very, very rare case where 'is' is really, really needed.
