I am with you regarding the strong opposition regarding the raising of an exception. I don't think that the `==` operator should raise an exception, doing so is excessively obstructive to the user. I'm not certain that returning `False` is the best behavior, but based on what I've gathered from the discussion so far there has been nothing suggested that would be a viable alternative. I had initially proposed returning `NotImplemented`, but upon further assessment, that would still end up returning `False` when using the `==` operator. As a result, leaving it as is and addressing the behavior in the docs seems to be the most appropriate solution. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/JAEML64F62M7ZB3U656CBE4YXQRU74QF/
