Summary: The empty set should be a subset of the empty set

Initial Comment:
Python 2.4.4 (#2, Oct 20 2006, 00:23:25)
[GCC 4.1.2 20061015 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-16.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> set([]) < set([1])
True
>>> set([]) < set([])
False

The last expression should evaluate to True to be mathematically correct.

To get the mathematical "subset or equal" operator, use "<=".
"<" is "is a strict subset".

Closing as "works for me".
