Does this example work for you? py> (17.1).hex == (17.1).hex True But: py> a = 17.1 py> b = 17.1 py> a.hex == b.hex False I know why it happens -- at the REPL, the interpreter uses the same object for both 17.1 instances when they're part of the same statement, but not when they're on separate lines. I just don't know whether this is desirable or not. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
