Description Leonardo 2013-09-02 19:27:51 UTC 
Comparing two GFiles with foo == bar is not the same as comparing them using foo.Equal(bar).

Perhaps the equality operator should be aliased to the equal method?
Comment 1 Simon Feltman 2013-09-12 02:44:31 UTC 
There are already a number of Python overrides for things like this but we should focus on generic support for equality instead of cherry picking certain cases as needed (and adding more to our overrides). I've added bug 569620 as a dependency for boxed types. However, Gio.File is an interface so perhaps we also need an additional annotation hint for GObject types which specify a generic equality function.

This will also allow us to remove all of the current __eq__ overrides.
