It would be more correct to return NotImplemented.
Also, it is enough to test isinstance(other, type(self)) because
other.__eq__(self) be called first if the type of other is a subclass of
the type of self.
Ah - yes. Half the logic is already on the __eq__ semantics - thanks.
Well, I am updating that on my code right now.
Anyway I am not seeing anyone opposing this going into col...abc.Sequence -
Maybe it is ok for a BPO?
(yes, there is this consideration I had, and also Guido,
that it would create new behavior in classes that already exist, but I saw
no way that could break code not specially crafted to break with this change.)
