[issue45268] use multiple "in" in one expression?

[Dennis Sweeney]

Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis650 at gmail.com> added the comment:

This is the expected behavior, documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#comparisons


That page says:

    * The comparison operators are  "<" | ">" | "==" | ">=" | "<=" | "!=" | "is" ["not"] | ["not"] "in"

    * "Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily"

    * "Note that a op1 b op2 c doesn’t imply any kind of comparison between a and c, so that, e.g., x < y > z is perfectly legal (though perhaps not pretty)."


So I'll close this for now.

I think it would be hard to change this behavior without introducing a needless backwards-incompatibility, but if you have a proposal, you could bring it up on the Python-Ideas mailing list.
