Does anyone remember an old blog post where someone used various Python language hacks to override boolean primitives, such that the statement false == true
evaluated as true
? I’m 90% sure it was python, but maybe it was some other language.
I’ve been looking for that post recently, but haven’t had any luck.
Thanks to antagonistic for finding it! I guess it was less of an “exploit”, and more of a “please don’t touch the loaded foot-gun”
This changed in 3.0 to my knowledge. Ref: https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python3.0#f
That change is about
True
andFalse
, nottrue
andfalse
. If OP was thinking of the former pair, it would seem my “different identifiers” guess was correct.
