```
class C:
    def __rrshift__(self, v):
        return 1

C() >> C()   # raise TypeError: unsupported operand types(s) for >>: 'C' and 'C'
```

But with different classed will be right

```
class C:
    def __rrshift__(self, v):
        return 1

class D:
    def __rrshift__(self, v):
        return 2

C() >> D() # 2
```

This is the intended behaviour. See the docs here: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__ror__

> These functions are only called if the left operand does not support the corresponding operation and the operands are of different types.

There's a further explanation in a footnote:

> For operands of the same type, it is assumed that if the non-reflected method – such as __add__() – fails then the overall operation is not supported, which is why the reflected method is not called.
