Re: Python told me a Joke

You can try:
 >>> 1,2 == 2,2
(1, True, 2)
Its the same as:
 >>> 1, (2 == 2), 2
(1, True, 2)
Hope this helps!

 Works as expected.
 Now I didn't expect the following to work (but Python sometimes
surprises me!), so I tried:
       >>> x,2,z = [1,2,3]
       File "<stdin>", line 1
         x,2,z = [1,2,3]
             ^^^^^^^^^^^
     SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Maybe you meant '==' or ':=' instead of '='?
 Yeah, that makes sense, no surprises today...  Except "maybe you meant
'=='..." caught my attention.  _Could_ that be what someone would want
in this situation I wondered?  So I tried:
      >>> x,2,z == [1,2,3]
     (1, 2, False)
 Now that made me laugh.
