Python fully supports mixed arithmetic: when a binary arithmetic operator has
operands of different numeric types, the operand with the "narrower" type is
widened to that of the other, where integer is narrower than floating point,
which is narrower than complex. Comparisons between numbers of mixed type use
the same rule. [2]_ The constructors :func:`int`, :func:`float`, and
which is narrower than complex. A comparison between numbers of different types
behaves as though the exact values of those numbers were being compared. [2]_
The constructors :func:`int`, :func:`float`, and
:func:`complex` can be used to produce numbers of a specific type.
All numeric types (except complex) support the following operations (for priorities of
