Comparing two lists using the greater than or less than operator

by

From Comparing Sequences and Other Types in the Python tutorial:

The comparison uses lexicographical ordering: first the first two items are compared, and if they differ this determines the outcome of the comparison; if they are equal, the next two items are compared, and so on, until either sequence is exhausted.

See also the Wikipedia article about lexicographical order.
