If self is an object (and it must have been), it would be preferrable to
set self.higher and self.lower to a known value inside self.__init__ and
avoid having the comparison.
I'm guessing you have something like this in your __init__:
def __init__(self, lower=None, higher=None):
self.lower = lower
self.higher = higher
that should be changed to:
def __init__(self, lower=None, higher=None):
self.lower = lower if lower is not None else higher
self.higher = higher if lower is not None else lower
or whatever else-value you see is appropriate for the context.
