No. The *default* comparison always raises an exception. Of course, most types have a comparison that does the right thing for objects of the same type -- but they still raise an exception when compared (for ordering) to objects of different types (except subtypes or related types). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
