Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment:
This is because the code of the main() function is roughly equivalent to
result = next(iter)
for item in iter:
if item > result:
result = item
It can be changed to use "result < item" instead of "item > result", but it can
has subtle differences in behavior. I am not sure what is better.
If we change it, it can only be in 3.10, because of the risk of affecting user
code.
