Why not consider them as equal, it's simple and is basically telling people not to rely on them because one day A might be lower than B and the other day, A and B that hasn't been modified at all might switch sides without warning. Or you could just use any arbitrary way of comparison (Python Zen: In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
