Why does the expression 0 < 0 == 0 return False in Python?

Question

Looking into Queue.py in Python 2.6, I found this construct that I found a bit strange:

def full(self):
    \"\"\"Return True if the queue is full, False oth         


        

Answer 1

I'm thinking Python is doing it's weird between magic. Same as 1 < 2 < 3 means 2 is between 1 and 3.

In this case, I think it's doing [middle 0] is greater than [left 0] and equal to [right 0]. Middle 0 is not greater than left 0, so it evaluates to false.
