[New-bugs-announce] [issue12796] total_ordering goes into infinite recursion when NotImplemented is returned

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

This small test file exhibits the issue. When @total_ordering is not applied, the '<' operator raises TypeError as expected. When @total_ordering is applied, there is an infinite recursion error.
