From documentation (Value Comparisons):

Quote:Sequences compare lexicographically using comparison of corresponding elements.

This means that order is important. This makes sense in strings (this is the way how words are ordered in any dictionary) but with tuples and lists one must be aware what practical implications of lexicographical comparison have on greater or less:

>>> a = (2, 1)
>>> b = (1, 4, 5, 10)
>>> a < b
False
1 is smaller than 2 and so b is smaller than a.
