Python __le__ magic method

"""
Magic method __le__ stands for lesser than or equal. So this magic method defines or 
overwrites what should "<=" sign do with objects.
"""

class Test:
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x
    
    def __le__(self, other):
        """
		Compares attribute "x" of objects, self stands for 1st object
		and other stands for object after "<=" sign. (so t is self and t2 other)
		"""
        return self.x <= other.x	# Should be used on objects of the same type

t = Test(2)
t2 = Test(2)
print(t <= t2)	# Now I call the __le__ method by using "<=" sign.
