Really? Then how do you explain these?
>>> u'abc' == 'abc'
True
>>> 1 == 1.0
True
>>> 2L == 2
True
>>>
>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.Decimal('42') == 42
True
Here's one to think about:
>>> d1 = {-1: None, -2: None}
>>> d2 = {-2: None, -1: None}
>>> print d1, d2
{-2: None, -1: None} {-1: None, -2: None}
>>> d1 == d2
True
If d1 and d2 are equal and both are dictionaries with the same keys and
same values, why do they print in different orders?
