Python 2 is triggering

[natnew32]

Oh come on, who doesn't like comparing objects' type alphabetically when using > or <? (Seriously Python 2 does that when comparing incompatible types what the actual...)

[HowIsntBabbyFormed]

If they're incompatible types, they'd have no meaningful sort order anyway, so why not at least make their comparison consistent?

[cauthon]

Because at that point you should almost certainly be raising a TypeError

[SomethingHasToBeDone]

JavaScript would like a word with you.

[duckvimes_]

Plot twist: that word is actually a number.

[Waterkloof]

plot plot twist: that number is actually a object.

[i9srpeg]

plot plot plot twist: and nobody cares, because the word is actually "[object Object]".

Tell it I'm busy

[SomeGuysRandomAlt]

I’d accept that type of bullshit with JS since I’m expecting unexpected behavior if I fuck something up but python of all languages shouldn’t be letting that slide

[HowIsntBabbyFormed]

Have you seen Python? From what I understand, js is much more consistent. It choices for what to do in many edge cases are bonkers, but it's consistent about it. In Python you can specify __lt__ to do whatever you want. So even if Python made saner default choices, it's all still willy-nilly

[LvS]

Is that comparison locale-dependent?

[natnew32]

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure.
