But in the mean time, I think that we should keep compatibility between ints and Integers, which means adjusting the comparison with strings. Which still leaves the second part of Stefan's question: how do we get consistent doctest output in contexts where we have been sorting? Perhaps the right answer is to add a tag to the doctest framework. Something like sage: [1,2,'a'] # unordered ['a',2,1] would pass tests....
