Re: [Python-ideas] Make range objects orderable

I propose adding the ability to compare range objects using methods (e.g. range.issubrange) and/or regular operators. Example:

In [56]: range(0, 10, 3).issubrange(range(10))
Out[56]: True

In [57]: range(0, 10, 3) <= range(10)
Out[57]: True

In [58]: range(10) <= range(0, 10, 3)
Out[58]: False

I'll write a patch if you decide that this idea is worth implementing.

Could you give some examples of how or when this is necessary and why you need it?
