Could you move the method higher up in the file, before all the public methods? Having this one dunder method within all the public methods, rather than having it alongside all the other dunder methods, makes it harder to find.

I don't think it makes sense to allow comparison with any object, only with other Vectors.

I tried writing Vector insted of object but it gave me an error that saying: Argument 1 of "eq" is incompatible with supertype "object"; supertype defines the argument type as "object" [override]
This violates the Liskov substitution principle

if len(self) != len(vector):
return False
return all(self.component(i) == vector.component(i) for i in range(len(self)))
