Tim Peters 07534a607b Comparison for timedelta, time, date and datetime objects: __eq__ and __ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other thing. If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is sensible. This allows things like if adatetime in some_sequence: and somedict[adatetime] = whatever to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects, or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__. It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a key in a BTree-based data structure, and cmp().		2003-02-07 22:50:28 +00:00
