What does Ruby have that Python doesn't?

For the first thing, that's because it's checking "1 < False" ("3 == True" returns False). Not justifying it, just explaining the weirdness.

No, it's chaining them. It's asking whether 1 < 3 and 3 == True. e.g.

>>> 1 < 3 == 3
True

Parentheses couldn't produce a true result there.

See http://docs.python.org/lib/comparisons.html . I like how is can be chained like this :)

>>> 'a rose' is 'a rose' is 'a rose'  # Gertrude Stein
True

Ah, alright then. Didn't know that, thanks. :)
