According to the documentation, which said "Additionally, comparing any number to a not-a-number value will return False. ",the comparison of `float('nan')!= 1`should yield False, while the result is True.
Small errors like this in documentation should be corrected?

Maybe the description should be changed into "all order comparisons of not-a-number and any number will return False" |

Sure, we like to make the docs more precise when it doesn't interfere with the presentation. Perhaps something like: "Additionally, ordering comparisions involving not-a-number values will always return False." I wonder if we should also mention here that this follows the IEEE standard. |
