- make == and != between PyBytes and PyUnicode return False instead of raising TypeError A patch for this is ready. I'll submit it to the bug tracker later tonight. - make == and != between PyString and Pyunicode return False instead of converting This will be trivial, but I need to ask a stupid question: is this also true for PyUnicode_Compare? (i.e. should PyUnicode_Compare(str8(), str()) != 0 ?)

And, if so, what should PyUnicode_Compare actually return if one of the parameters is a PyString? Maybe -1 for PyUnicode on the left, 1 for PyUnicode on the right?

- make comparisons between PyString and PyBytes work (these are properly ordered)

Is it just me, or do string/bytes comparisons already work?

s = str8('test') b = b'test' s == b True b == s True s != b False b != s False

Cheers, Tom
