This is all what i wanted to know . 
Even if i can't see it's utility , at least
for the behaviour of the comparison between strings
and numbers with every string considered greater of every int .

Here i was looking for what you told me , so something like :
x.__gt__(y) <==> x>y if x and y are numeric object , 
every string is greater than every number (ErrorObject , 
user define class ... ??) ... 
... may be one day i could add it myself ... ;)

Thank you very much for you help .

Bye .
