None is negative?

[wheres pythonmonks]

I did the google search... I must be blind as I don't see any hits...

None is negative in Python?  (v2.6)

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&q=%22none+is+negative%22+python

>>> if None < -9999999.99: print "hi"

hi
>>>

>>> if -9999999 > None: print "hi"

hi
>>>

Is there a way to have the comparison raise an exception?
