AFAICT there is no documentation for the behaviour of <, > or == for sequences. == is perhaps obvious but it would be worth noting that < and > for lists and strings does a lexicographical comparison on the list elements or string characters. |

http://docs.python.org/ref/comparisons.html works for me. |

Yes, that is what I was looking for. It seems a strange place for the information. Could this be cross-referenced from the Library Reference? I never even thought to look for it in the Language Ref. Other list operations are documented in http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq.html and this page discusses comparison of library types in general: http://docs.python.org/lib/comparisons.html I think it would be worth either repeating or linking to the information from the language ref on either of these pages. Thanks, Kent |

I've added a note plus a cross-reference to the comparisons coverage in the language reference. This won't appear until Python 2.6 though. |
