Comparison of strings and integer

[Franz GEIGER]

Still not very experienced in programming Python I recently compared
accidentially a string variable with an integer variable. Python did it his
way, which was not my way: I expected a conversion like Perl does or a
runtime error like REBOL does. Is there any way to prevent Python from doing
so?

Python: print "1" > 1 --> 1

Perl: print not ("1" > 1); --> 1

REBOL:  print "1" > 1 -->
** Script Error: Expected one of: string! - not: integer!.
** Where: print "1" > 1

Many thanks in advance and best regards
