With more generality:

def nan_type(x):
    if isinstance(x, numbers.Complex):
        if cmath.isnan(x): return 'qnan'
    elif isinstance(x, decimal.Decimal):
        if x.is_qnan(): return 'qnan'
        if x.is_snan(): return 'snan'
    return None

def equalish(x, y):
    if x is y or x == y: return True
    x_nan = nan_type(x)
    return x_nan is not None and x_nan == nan_type(y)

Have I missed any cases?
