You still haven't given a good reason why we should raise an exception rather than do a comparison, though. The fact that some particular coders don't like "the particular type of implicit conversion chosen" is a particularly weak argument. Python isn't a language construction framework; we try to choose useful defaults rather than simply give out a box of tools. If some people don't like the defaults (significant indentation, limitless precision integers, etc.), there are other choices out there.
