That's a contrived example, of course, but it's easy to have a bug in
__eq__ that results in the same behaviour. I can't imagine any code
that would actually WANT that, unless you're trying to represent
Animal Farm.
class EqualAll:
def __eq__(self, other):
if (isinstance(other, pig): return 3 # Some are more equal than others
return True
