That's how Elliot did it in the original proposal: https://bugs.python.org/issue28685 Back then you pointed out that "Else we can assume u[0] == v[0]" isn't true for float('nan') values: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/582#issuecomment-285838656 https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/582#issuecomment-285841789 If you sort objects that always return True for both `<` and `==`, this would also have the opposite problem, considering tuple u smaller than v when it shouldn't. That said, maybe the function could be optimized for known "well-behaving" types? ---------- nosy: +Stefan Pochmann _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45530> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
