Hello, In the 3.0 changes list there is mentioned that "<"-compares are not supported anymore if the compared types are different (except numbers). Like 42 < "Hello" did return True of False depending on the implementation but is now a TypeError.
But the document also mentions that the result is not strictly "undefined" but "reproducable undetermined". Meaning, that on a given machine with a given python implementation result will always be the same. But on another machine, or with another python implementation, it might give a different result. My question now is, why this is? E.g, Is there an integer large enough so that the result changes? What circumstances influence the result? Thanks in advance. tschau, towi. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
