Here's the rejected PEP for operator overloading.

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0335/

and deferred PEP for rich comparison chaining specifically

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0535/

The central issue is that `3<=a<=5` expands to `3<=a and a<=5`, and `and` coerces the variables to booleans in order to work.

Oh nice! Thank you for sharing. I'm sure the functionality will eventually come.

I have been doing math in python for a year and this explains so much. I feel so stupid now. Thank you for this from self thought dev.
