Comparisons x
==
y,
x
>=
y, x
>
y, x
<=
y, x
<
y, and
x
!=
y,
respectively, call the special methods listed here, which should
return False or True (in Python
2.2.1 and later; 0 or 1 in
Python 2.2, 2.1, and earlier). Each method may return
NotImplemented to tell Python to handle the
comparison in alternative ways (e.g., Python may then try
y
>
x
in lieu of
x
<
y).
