I think "the best we can do" is return valid comparison results between floats and decimals in 2.x. It doesn't make anything worse and it does make something better. Unlike other cross-type comparisons, number-to-number is not an unreasonable thing to do. And, we not obliged to carry that over to 3.x where cross-type comparisons have to be specifically enabled. I believe this is the best solution. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
