First off, Kent, thanks for posting that!  I know it's in the Python library 
but it does help to have a bookmark for things I know I'll need pretty soon.

Second...  What if there is a '<<' or '>>'?  Does that just mean the same thing 
(maybe a little over emphasized..  ;)   I thought I saw this when I was 
learning boolean expressions, but I don't recall.

Good question! The only doc I can find on this behavior is this:
http://docs.python.org/lib/comparisons.html

which just says that the comparison operation exists. There doesn't seem 
to be any documentation on how comparison works with sequences.

I think it is pretty safe to count on the current behaviour of < and > 
for lists. I'll put in a documentation bug on this - the meaning of 
these operations (and ==) should be explicit in the docs.

Kent
