New submission from Ahmed Amr <ahmedam...@gmail.com>:
Hi, I was thinking if we could add equality between array and list to work out of the box on the supported datatypes by arrays. Currently, comparing a list and an array with the same contents returns False. Also, creating an array of floats from a listA, then turning that array into a listB, returns different contents between listA and listB. It's somehow counter-intuitive for me as even if the underlying implementations are different between array and list, they can be viewed as an array data structure but with different restrictions/implementations, along with that, arrays compare to each other correctly, and lists compare to each other correctly. based on that, switching some lists to arrays in a python codebase may break some equality conditions within that code between lists and arrays ---------- files: equality_between_arrays_and_lists.py messages: 367615 nosy: Ahmed Amr priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Equality operations between lists and arrays type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49098/equality_between_arrays_and_lists.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40433> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
