+\subsection{Set Types \label{types-set}}
+\obindex{set}
+
+A \dfn{set} object is an unordered collection of immutable values.
+Common uses include membership testing, removing duplicates from a sequence,
+and computing mathematical operations such as intersection, union, difference,
+and symmetric difference.
+\versionadded{2.4}     
+
+Like other collections, sets support \code{\var{x} in \var{set}},
+\code{len(\var{set})}, and \code{for \var{x} in \var{set}}.  Being an
+unordered collection, sets do not record element position or order of
+insertion.  Accordingly, sets do not support indexing, slicing, or
+other sequence-like behavior.     
+
+There are currently two builtin set types, \class{set} and \class{frozenset}.
+The \class{set} type is mutable --- the contents can be changed using methods
+like \method{add()} and \method{remove()}.  Since it is mutable, it has no
+hash value and cannot be used as either a dictionary key or as an element of
+another set.  The \class{frozenset} type is immutable and hashable --- its
+contents cannot be altered after is created; however, it can be used as
+a dictionary key or as an element of another set.
+
+Instances of \class{set} and \class{frozenset} provide the following operations:
+
+\begin{tableiii}{c|c|l}{code}{Operation}{Equivalent}{Result}
+  \lineiii{len(\var{s})}{}{cardinality of set \var{s}}
+
+  \hline
+  \lineiii{\var{x} in \var{s}}{}
+         {test \var{x} for membership in \var{s}}
+  \lineiii{\var{x} not in \var{s}}{}
+         {test \var{x} for non-membership in \var{s}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.issubset(\var{t})}{\code{\var{s} <= \var{t}}}
+         {test whether every element in \var{s} is in \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.issuperset(\var{t})}{\code{\var{s} >= \var{t}}}
+         {test whether every element in \var{t} is in \var{s}}
+
+  \hline
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.union(\var{t})}{\var{s} | \var{t}}
+         {new set with elements from both \var{s} and \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.intersection(\var{t})}{\var{s} \&\ \var{t}}
+         {new set with elements common to \var{s} and \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.difference(\var{t})}{\var{s} - \var{t}}
+         {new set with elements in \var{s} but not in \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.symmetric_difference(\var{t})}{\var{s} \^\ \var{t}}
+         {new set with elements in either \var{s} or \var{t} but not both}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.copy()}{}
+         {new set with a shallow copy of \var{s}}
+\end{tableiii}
+
+Note, the non-operator versions of \method{union()}, \method{intersection()},
+\method{difference()}, and \method{symmetric_difference()},
+\method{issubset()}, and \method{issuperset()} methods will accept any
+iterable as an argument.  In contrast, their operator based counterparts
+require their arguments to be sets.  This precludes error-prone constructions
+like \code{set('abc') \&\ 'cbs'} in favor of the more readable
+\code{set('abc').intersection('cbs')}.
+
+Both \class{set} and \class{frozenset} support set to set comparisons.
+Two sets are equal if and only if every element of each set is contained in
+the other (each is a subset of the other).
+A set is less than another set if and only if the first set is a proper
+subset of the second set (is a subset, but is not equal).
+A set is greater than another set if and only if the first set is a proper
+superset of the second set (is a superset, but is not equal).
+
+The subset and equality comparisons do not generalize to a complete
+ordering function.  For example, any two disjoint sets are not equal and
+are not subsets of each other, so \emph{all} of the following return
+\code{False}:  \code{\var{a}<\var{b}}, \code{\var{a}==\var{b}}, or
+\code{\var{a}>\var{b}}.
+Accordingly, sets do not implement the \method{__cmp__} method.
+
+Since sets only define partial ordering (subset relationships), the output
+of the \method{list.sort()} method is undefined for lists of sets.
+
+For convenience in implementing sets of sets, the \method{__contains__()},
+\method{remove()}, and \method{discard()} methods automatically match
+instances of the \class{set} class their \class{frozenset} counterparts
+inside a set.  For example, \code{set('abc') in set([frozenset('abc')])}
+returns \code{True}.
+
+The following table lists operations available for \class{set}
+that do not apply to immutable instances of \class{frozenset}:
+
+\begin{tableiii}{c|c|l}{code}{Operation}{Equivalent}{Result}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.update(\var{t})}
+         {\var{s} |= \var{t}}
+         {return set \var{s} with elements added from \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.intersection_update(\var{t})}
+         {\var{s} \&= \var{t}}
+         {return set \var{s} keeping only elements also found in \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.difference_update(\var{t})}
+         {\var{s} -= \var{t}}
+         {return set \var{s} after removing elements found in \var{t}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.symmetric_difference_update(\var{t})}
+         {\var{s} \textasciicircum= \var{t}}
+         {return set \var{s} with elements from \var{s} or \var{t}
+          but not both}
+
+  \hline
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.add(\var{x})}{}
+         {add element \var{x} to set \var{s}}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.remove(\var{x})}{}
+         {remove \var{x} from set \var{s}; raises KeyError if not present}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.discard(\var{x})}{}
+         {removes \var{x} from set \var{s} if present}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.pop()}{}
+         {remove and return an arbitrary element from \var{s}; raises
+	  \exception{KeyError} if empty}
+  \lineiii{\var{s}.clear()}{}
+         {remove all elements from set \var{s}}
+\end{tableiii}
+
+Note, the non-operator versions of the \method{update()},
+\method{intersection_update()}, \method{difference_update()}, and
+\method{symmetric_difference_update()} methods will accept any iterable
+as an argument.
