(e.g. Integer(2) + "3" works as one would expect ;-).

So it raises an exception? Seriously, that's what *I'd* expect, and if it's not what your package does, I beg you to reconsider.

Integer(2) + "3" gives you Integer(5). This is a side-effect of how the implementation converts arbitrary objects into ones usable for coercion: Integer(2) + "3" is interpreted as Integer(2) + Integer("3") which gives Integer(2) + Integer(3). After having played with it for a while, I must say, that I kind of like it :-) -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Company & Consulting: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
