int(1) == int(1.0) == int('1') True
That's not what I wrote -- and it would always be true. *This* doesn't work: Python 2.3.4 (#2, May 29 2004, 03:31:27) [GCC 3.3.3 (Debian 20040417)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
int(1)=='1' False
which is equivalent to the test I had above. But this does:
int(1)==1.0 True
Strings equate differently from numbers. The test will fail though if the floating point value isn't *exactly* an integer.
int(1)==1.000001 False
