Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: I'm new to this thread, so I hope I didn't miss anything that has been said already. I don't fully understand why TypeError cannot be raised in 2.x. The 2.6 documentation for tp_richcompare says:
"If you want to implement a type for which only a limited set of comparisons makes sense (e.g. == and !=, but not < and friends), directly raise TypeError in the rich comparison function." I just tried that in the 2.7 version of cdecimal, and it works well: >>> from cdecimal import * >>> Decimal(9) < 2.5 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: conversion from float to Decimal is not supported ---------- _______________________________________ 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
