Surely an A isn't equal to every other object which just happens to have
the same attributes 'a' and 'b'? I would have thoughts the tests want to be
something like:
class A:
def __eq__(self,other):
return (isinstance(other, A) and
self.a == other.a and self.b == other.b)
(and similar for B) with either an isinstance or exact match required for
the type.
