Hi, being a causal python user (who likes the language quite a lot) it took me a while to realize the following:
l...@sylvester py_count $ python Python 2.6.3 (r263:75183, Oct 26 2009, 12:34:23) [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> max = '5' >>> n = 5 >>> n >= max False >>> n + max Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' >>> Section 5.9 Comparison describes this. Can someone give me examples of use cases TIA Hellmut -- Dr. Hellmut Weber m...@hellmutweber.de Degenfeldstraße 2 tel +49-89-3081172 D-80803 München-Schwabing mobil +49-172-8450321 please: No DOCs, no PPTs. why: tinyurl.com/cbgq -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
