Tim Peters <tim at python.org> added the comment:

Closing as Mark suggested, but as "not a bug" rather than "won't fix".  That floats aren't totally ordered is a consequence of IEEE 754 semantics, not Python's whim.  As Mark said, if people want a total_ordering function for floats, that should be opened as a different issue - we're not going to change the default float comparison logic.
