> The __eq__ method of the [PrimitiveSchema|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/py3/avro/schema.py#L629], EnumSchema and FixedSchema assume that the compared object has an attribute called "props" which makes a statement like this (for example) throw an exception:
> {code:python}
> o = PrimitiveSchema(...)
> if o == "null":
>   print("Not same")
> {code}
>    
> The exception message looks like:
> {code:bash}
> AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'props'
> {code}
> A more robust equals method would start by ensuring type equality before doing other comparisons. Alternatively (though less pretty) the way the other Schema types implement it could be used, for example [ArraySchema|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/py3/avro/schema.py#L772]
