So what should happen if you don't implement __eq__? Should the ==
operator throw an exception? This can be done fairly easily:
class object(object):
def __eq__(self,other):
raise NoYouDontException("Naughty programmer, mustn't do that!")
(Works only if you always explicitly subclass object, even though
that's not necessary in Python 3.)
