in reply to my least favorite perl feature

How does Python handle the dofference/similarity here? 

print '100 is numerically ', 100 == $_ ? ' the same ' :' different, ',
+ 
    'and lexically ', 100 eq $_ ? ' the same ' : ' different', ' to ',
+ "$_", $/ 
    for qw[100 100.0 1e2 .1e3 1000e-1]

100 is numerically   the same  and lexically   the same   to  100
100 is numerically   the same  and lexically   different to  100.0
100 is numerically   the same  and lexically   different  to  1e2
100 is numerically   the same  and lexically   different  to  .1e3
100 is numerically   the same  and lexically   different  to  1000e-1

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
