I think they *are* equal in Python if they have the same value, by definition, because somewhere the Python docs state that equality compares the object's values. The reality though is that value is more vague than equality test (as it was already pointed out in this thread): A class designer can directly implement what equality means to the class, but he or she cannot implement an accessor method for the value. The value plays a role only indirectly as part of equality and ordering tests. Andy
