Here's a patch: http://python.org/sf/591250
In testing this patch, I ran across this:
>>> 's' in 's'
True
>>> 's' in 's' == True
False
>>> 's' in 's' is True
False
>>> id('s' in 's')
135246792
>>> id(True)
135246792
What's up with that? Am I missing something?
Note: this occurs before the patch too.
