Description (last modified by egourgoulhon)

At this stage, the not equal comparison fails: 

sage: M = Manifold(4, 'M')
sage: X.<x,y,z,t> = M.chart()
sage: Form0 = M.mixed_form(comp=([0,0,0,0,0]))
sage: Form1 = M.mixed_form(comp=([1,0,0,0,0]))
sage: Form0 != Form1
False

(reported at ​https://ask.sagemath.org/question/52409/why-doesnt-or-work-for-mixed-forms/)

I already spotted the error: originally, richcmp is checked separately on each component and returns False if the check fails for at least one element. But for the inequality, it is enough when the check succeeds for at least one element because then both mixed forms are already unequal.

This bug gets fixed in this ticket. Furthermore, an equality check between mixed forms and differential forms will be possible.

I have overwritten my former approach. This should be much cleaner.

comment:13 follow-up: Changed 12 months ago by gh-mjungmath

For the sake of consistency, and compatibility, I think that the method __eq__ should be replaced by _richcmp_ in scalarfield.py and tensorfield.py. The method _richcmp_ tries to coerce both elements into elements of a common parent first which makes most of the current checks obsolete and increases compatibility.

Eric, what do you think?

I have already opened a new ticket for this: ​https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30116

This sounds like a good idea, except maybe when efficiency matters, like for ManifoldPoint, since points are parameters of UniqueRepresentation objects, namely tangent spaces.

Can someone please review this ticket? There's not much change going on, and someone asked, rather indirectly, for a fix.
