Which “that”? If you’re asking about `OrderedDict`, I’m referring to equality between `OrderedDict`s:

  >>> a = OrderedDict([(1, 2), (3, 4)])
  >>> b = {1: 2, 3: 4}
  >>> c = OrderedDict(reversed(a.items()))
  >>> a == b == c
  True
  >>> a == c
  False

I was referring to this:

> Also, `==` doesn’t always answer the question of whether two things are equivalent

because the examples you posteda kinda make it look like it does, i.e. `1.0 == 1` even though one is a float and the other is an int.
