my real point

[waxmop]

is that python's == operator can be used to test different objects, like tuples, class objects, whatever.

a) I'd still like to see the answer to the preceeding question as I have no knowledge of how Python would differeciate the examples I gave.

b) Could you give a couple of examples of where you use == in Python where you cannot in Perl? Again partly for my interest, partly because it ia easier understand you meaning from concrete examples than nebulous statements.
