Description
Right now, some of the error messages for in pandas/tseries/period.py are not so great:
In [9]: period = Period('2000-01-03', 'B')
In [10]: period > 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-10-df287da31a9f> in <module>()
----> 1 period > 1
/pandas/tseries/period.pyc in f(self, other)
172 return func(self.ordinal, other.ordinal)
173 else:
--> 174 raise TypeError(other)
175
176 f.__name__ = name
TypeError: 1
And in the case above, should really return NotImplemented
instead (so that they end up with an error message like):
----> 1 1 + period
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'Period'
Side note - that's only appropriate these are only used as magic methods (so that the Python interpreter converts them into the TypeError shown above...).
