Both are not equal, so the comparison returns an arbitrary result in Py2.
Thanks, Stefan. If I understand you correctly the comparison is not
valid.
But I wonder if there is any logic behind this (in 2.x).
Is it possible to predict result of this comparison?
In general, no. The result is arbitrary, with the constraint of being
consistent within a particular run.
Thanks again,

I believe in 2.x they are ordered by the names of their types but I
could be wrong.
This is currently true in *CPython* 2.x, but that is an implementation
artifact that has changed and might be different with other implementations.
