It may be tolerable for unrelated types like int and list, but it's a
gross usability issue
when it comes to mixing floats and decimals. I believe the latter are
going to be mixed
and com

Without reading the manuals, you can only expect that Python
will be "compatible" with the ideas you have of things based
on previous

I have difficulties with a weird Python 2.4.2 behaviour in comparing Decimal to
Floats.
For Example :
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> a=Decimal('3.7')
>>> b=6.3
>>> if a > b :print a,b,'a is greater than b - NOT TRUE'
... else: print a,b,'b is greater than a - CORRECT'
...
3.7 6.3 a
