The \module{operator} module exports a set of functions implemented in C
|
1996-12-06 21:22:41 +00:00
|
|
|
corresponding to the intrinsic operators of Python. For example,
|
1997-12-29 17:11:55 +00:00
|
|
|
\code{operator.add(x, y)} is equivalent to the expression \code{x+y}. The
|
1996-12-06 21:22:41 +00:00
|
|
|
function names are those used for special class methods; variants without
|
1997-12-04 14:20:59 +00:00
|
|
|
leading and trailing \samp{__} are also provided for convenience.
