(1) The comparison could incorrectly return True in some cases + (2**53+1 == complex(2**53) == 2**53), breaking transivity of equality. + (2) The comparison raised an OverflowError for large integers, leading + to unpredictable exceptions when combining integers and complex objects + in sets or dicts. + - Issue #5211: Implicit coercion for the complex type is now completely removed. (Coercion for arithmetic operations was already removed in 2.7 alpha 4, but coercion for rich comparisons was accidentally left in.) |
