Surely you meant 'if a >= b: . . .'
No worries, I'm sure your unittests would have caught it. ;)

Wouldn't the compiler have caught it before the unittests? :-)
Not unless the compiler could read your mind!
The syntax looks fine it's the semantics that are suspect. Wrong is a
word that I try not to use as it tends to upset people, let's call them
"differently right" ;-)
BTW having more than one return statement in a block is a little thing I
know but it drives me nuts ... another "Pythonic" thing I'll have to get
used to I suppose.
