I'm speaking of this module: http://docs.python.org/library/operator.html
From the article:
The operator module exports a set of functions implemented in C corresponding to the intrinsic operators of Python. For example, operator.add(x, y) is equivalent to the expression x+y. The function names are those used for special class methods; variants without leading and trailing __ are also provided for convenience.
I'm not sure I understand the benefit or purpose of this module.
