Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis...@gmail.com> added the comment:

This is the expected behavior, documented here: 
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#comparisons


That page says:

    * The comparison operators are  "<" | ">" | "==" | ">=" | "<=" | "!=" | 
"is" ["not"] | ["not"] "in"

    * "Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily"

    * "Note that a op1 b op2 c doesn’t imply any kind of comparison between a 
and c, so that, e.g., x < y > z is perfectly legal (though perhaps not pretty)."


So I'll close this for now.

I think it would be hard to change this behavior without introducing a needless 
backwards-incompatibility, but if you have a proposal, you could bring it up on 
the Python-Ideas mailing list.
