What is the difference between the is keyword and the == operator in Python? Why would a programmer need to use one over the other depending on the situation?

The == operator compares the value or equality of two objects, whereas the Python is operator checks whether two variables point to the same object in memory.

My question is to identify the role of ()().
c1 = conv... #omit to explain below c1 = tf.kears.layers.Dropout(0.1)(c1)
I know that the role of (c1) is input for next layer. However, I'm curious about other function of the syntax: ()() in other place.
Can you explain it similar to the role by using bracket after bracket?

Ruby's "next" implementation in Python [duplicate]

How can I get the next string, in alphanumeric ordering, in Python?
(4 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
If Python has an implementation of Ruby's next method? I mean something what works exactly the same as in Ruby, so if I type e.g. "z".next it will return "aa" (instead of just next sign in ascii table), "az".next will return "ba" and so on.
I don't believe there is a built-in method for this in Python. A similar question was asked on How can I get the next string, in alphanumeric ordering, in Python? and the accepted answer gives a solution.

I just saw some code using the <> operator (don't know what this is called) instead of the != operator in Python. Is there any difference between the two or do they mean the same thing? What's the <> operator called? Thanks.
The <> operator is considered obsolete:

I am new to python. Please anybody explain the following string operations
s="abcdefghijklmnop"
print s[:6][::-1] #is it first calculating s[:6] and then operating the result with [::-1] ?
"abcdefghijklmnop"[:6][::-1]
Take first 6 characters (abcdef).
Read the result from the end to the beginning (fedcba).
There is an other better way to get this result:
"abcdefghijklmnop"[5::-1]
