Personally, I see no need to make the same mistake by removing the identity-implies-equality rule from the built-in containers. There's no need to upset the apple cart for nearly zero benefit. Containers delegate the equal comparison on the container to their elements; they do not apply identity-based comparison to their elements. At least that is the externally visible behavior.
If that were true, then [NaN] == [NaN] would be False, and it is not.
Here is the externally visible behavior:
Python 3.5.0a0 (default:34881ee3eec5, Jun 16 2014, 11:31:20) [GCC 4.7.3] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. --> NaN = float('nan') --> NaN == NaN False --> [NaN] == [NaN] True
