Yes, sorry, it's when you do a > b the problem arises. 1. a > b first tries a.__gt__(b) 2. b.__gt__(b) in turn does b < a 3. Python's first attempt of b < a is calling b.__lt__(a) 4. but b.__lt__(a) returns NotImplemented 5. Python then tries the opposite, which is a.__gt__(b) 6. Goto 2 Infinite recursion. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
