[PyQt] QPointF comparison is kinda wrong

That's not anything specific to PyQt - it's just how Python 2
(unfortunately) implements comparing of incomparable types - it uses
their identity (id()) if they are of the same type:

    >>> class Foo(object): pass
    ...
    >>> Foo() < Foo()
    True
    >>> Foo() < Foo()
    True
    >>> Foo() < Foo()
    False
    >>> Foo() < Foo()
    True
    >>> Foo() < Foo()
    False

On Python 3, you get a much more sensible result:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    TypeError: unorderable types: QPointF() < QPointF()

Needless to say, I recommend switching to Python 3 ;)
