[Pyobjc-dev] Comparing int and floats fails?

[Francesco P. <fpi...@no...>]

Hi everybody!

I stumbled into a very weird behaviour and I do not know if it is a 
Python bug, an PyObjC bug, one of my bugs or any combination of the 
three.

So, I implement a mouseMoved_ function in a subclass of NSImageView in 
a Python script. In this function I have a comparison between the pixel 
value of the displayed image and two thresholds:

if (v >= z2):
   self.pixelField.setStringValue_ ('>= ' + str (z2))
   return
if (v <= z1):
   self.pixelField.setStringValue_ ('<= ' + str (z1))
   return
else:
   self.pixelField.setFloatValue_ (v)
   return

for some weird reason, if all of v, z1 and z2 are floats, everything 
works as expected. If v is a int while z1 and z2 are floats, the second 
statement gets ALWAYS executed. I should add that z in an element of a 
Python array of unsigned ints.

Has anybody ever seen something like this?

Cheers
Francesco
