Which personnaly, I think was a mistake. I can understand it is useful for the scientific/numerical community to compare vectors with each other and get a vector of booleans. However how useful is it doing this with the normal boolean operators, instead of calling a function? And if doing it with an operator was so important, I think it would have been better to introduce boxed operators, like [+], [<] ... where the default behaviour would be an elementary wise application of the non-boxed operator. -- Antoon Pardon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
