Could anyone explain it to me?

Best regards,

Both are not equal, so the comparison returns an arbitrary result in Py2.

Note that this was fixed in Py3:

Python 3.1.1+ (r311:74480, Nov 2 2009, 15:45:00)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> (1,2,3) > [1,2,3]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unorderable types: tuple() > list()
