Re: [cx-oracle-users] type object matching - BINARY

[D.R. B. <da...@as...>]

Hoi Mario,

You are right, but I'm happy to leave the C implementation to Anthony.
Personally, I very much dislike the whole idea of using the equivalence
operator on types in the way suggested in the pep. For example

   BINARY =3D=3D CLOB

To me BINARY and CLOB are not equivalent and never will be.
More natural would be

   issubclass(CLOB, BINARY)

(Now you now what C and B in the help() for issubclass() stand for ;)
but even so, it's usually better to stay as far as possible from discussi=
ons
on such matters.

Cheers,

                                                   Danny
