Summary

Fixes issue#141218 by correcting inaccurate documentation about object comparison.

Problem: The current documentation states "Objects of different types, except different numeric types, never compare equal" which is factually incorrect.

Counter-example:

>>>frozenset([1,2])== {1,2}True

Solution: Changed to "Objects of different types, unless documented otherwise, never compare equal" to account for all documented exceptions.

Documented exceptions include:

• Numeric types (int, float, complex) - already mentioned
• set/frozenset comparisons - documented later in same file
• dict subclass comparisons (defaultdict, Counter, OrderedDict)

Changes

• UpdatedDoc/library/stdtypes.rst line 167
• Added news entry inMisc/NEWS.d/next/Documentation/

Test plan

• Documentation builds successfully withmake html
• Verified change maintains consistency with existing specific type documentation
• Tested that the issue examples work as described
• Confirmed change is minimal and maintains readability

The fix improves documentation accuracy while maintaining clarity and consistency.
