• comparing objects of the same type acts as you expected.
• name python2.x python3.x( ).
• , .

"" , ( , , "" ):

list1 = ["kyle", "darius"]
max(list1) 

→ ,

list2 = ["kaula", "kzla", "kayla", "kwala"]
max(list2) 

→ kzla, kz ka kw

list3 = ["kyle", "darius", "janna", "set", "annie", "warwick", "bauuuuuu"]
max(list3)

Python 3.7, :

list4 = [13341412, "zara", "jane", "kada"]
max(list4)

:

Traceback ( ): "", 1, TypeError: '>' 'str' 'int'
