Note, the non-operator versions of :meth:`union`, :meth:`intersection`,
:meth:`difference`, and :meth:`symmetric_difference`, :meth:`issubset`, and
:meth:`issuperset` methods will accept any iterable as an argument. In
contrast, their operator based counterparts require their arguments to be sets.
This precludes error-prone constructions like ``set('abc') & 'cbs'`` in favor of
the more readable ``set('abc').intersection('cbs')``.

Both :class:`set` and :class:`frozenset` support set to set comparisons. Two
sets are equal if and only if every element of each set is contained in the
other (each is a subset of the other). A set is less than another set if and
only if the first set is a proper subset of the second set (is a subset, but is
not equal). A set is greater than another set if and only if the first set is a
proper superset of the second set (is a superset, but is not equal).

Instances of :class:`set` are compared to instances of :class:`frozenset` based
on their members. For example, ``set('abc') == frozenset('abc')`` returns
``True`` and so does ``set('abc') in set([frozenset('abc')])``.

returns ``True`` and so does ``set('abc') in set([frozenset('abc')])``.
The subset and equality comparisons do not generalize to a complete ordering
function. For example, any two disjoint sets are not equal and are not subsets
of each other, so *all* of the following return ``False``: ``a<b``, ``a==b``,
or ``a>b``. Accordingly, sets do not implement the :meth:`__cmp__` method.

subsets of each other, so *all* of the following return ``False``: ``a<b``,
``a==b``, or ``a>b``. Accordingly, sets do not implement the :meth:`__cmp__`
method.
Since sets only define partial ordering (subset relationships), the output of
the :meth:`list.sort` method is undefined for lists of sets.
Set elements, like dictionary keys, must be :term:`hashable`.
Binary operations that mix :class:`set` instances with :class:`frozenset` return
the type of the first operand. For example: ``frozenset('ab') | set('bc')``
returns an instance of :class:`frozenset`.
