-1. We don't want to have objects that are orderable depending on their values. I can't think of anywhere else we do this. It would be very easy to have a complex == 42+0.0000001j, after some calculation. This near-zero imaginary part would prevent it from being orderable, while if a similar calculation produced exactly 42+0j, then that instance would be orderable. An application relying on this would be a nightmare to write comprehensive tests for. Whether something is orderable or not should depend solely on its type, not its value. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36117> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
