python中返回结果为true_为什么在Python中0<（）的计算结果为True？

我无意中输入了time.clock>> repr(time.clock)

''

>>> time.clock

True

此外：

^{pr2}$

相反：>>> 1

TypeError: can only compare to a set

问题：除了为什么之外，空的list、tuple或{}的值大于任何数字，是否有实际意义或目的？

更新：Viktor指出，默认情况下会比较内存地址：

>>> map(lambda _:(id(0),'

[(31185488L, '

279477880L), (31185488L, '

尽管看起来是顺序，这是不正确的。在Martijn Pieters指出：Without an explicit comparison operator defined, Python 2 compares by

Numbers and Type-names, with numbers having the lowest precedence.

这并没有提示调用的确切内部方法是什么。另请参阅这篇有用但inconclusive SO thread：

在IPython 2.7.5 REPL中>>> type(type(()).__name__)

Out[15]: str

>>> type(()) < 10

Out[8]: False

>>> 10 < type(())

Out[11]: True

#as described

>>> type(()) < type(())

Out[9]: False

>>> type(()) == type(())

Out[10]: True

However:

>>> 'somestr' .__le__(10)

Out[20]: NotImplemented

>>> 'somestr' .__lt__(10)

Out[21]: NotImplemented

>>> int.__gt__

Out[25]:

>>> int.__lt__

Out[26]:

>>> int.__lt__(None)

Out[27]: NotImplemented

#.....type(...), dir(...), type, dir......

#An 'int' instance does not have an < operator defined

>>> 0 .__lt__

Out[28]: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute '__lt__'

#int is actually a subclass of bool

>>>int.__subclasses__()

Out: [bool]

#str as the fallback type for default comparisons

>>> type(''.__subclasshook__)
