		adamjb on Dec 29, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: NumPy Illustrated: The Visual Guide to NumPy Here's the rejected PEP for operator overloading. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0335/ and deferred PEP for rich comparison chaining specifically https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0535/ The central issue is that `3<=a<=5` expands to `3<=a and a<=5`, and `and` coerces the variables to booleans in order to work.

Oh nice! Thank you for sharing. I'm sure the functionality will eventually come.

I have been doing math in python for a year and this explains so much. I feel so stupid now. Thank you for this from self thought dev.
