I tried the following: >>> x = complex(4) >>> y = x >>> y *= 2 >>> print x, y (4+0j) (8+0j)
But when I tried the same thing with my own class in place of "complex" above, I found that both x and y were doubled. I'd like to make my class behave like the "complex" class. Can someone tell me the trick? Also, where can I find the code for for the "complex" class? I hope it's written in Python! Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
