Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment: I expect these docs date back to when ints, longs, and floats were the only hashable language-supplied types for which mixed-type comparison could ever return True.
They could stand some updates ;-) `fractions.Fraction` and `decimal.Decimal` are more language-supplied numeric types that participate now, and the Boolean singletons are instances of (a subclass of) `int`. I think it would be good to point that out, especially the latter (in many other languages Booleans can't be compared to ints). So +1 both to Mark's more-general explanation, and to explicitly naming more specific cases for illustration. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33572> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
