-0 on this. While it is true that __lt__ is used, we don't really want people to exploit that fact. Doing so will get them into trouble elsewhere. For example, max(seq) uses __gt__. Also, when mixing types, a return of NotImplemented will trigger a call to the reflection method. And PEP 8 recommends that all six rich comparison operators be defined to avoid hard-to-find bugs. ---------- assignee: docs@python -> rhettinger nosy: +rhettinger, tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45246> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
