Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

lhs = np.float32(0)
rhs = np.float64(3.503246160812043 * (10**-46))
assert lhs < rhs

s = pd.Series([lhs])
assert (s < rhs).iloc[0]

Issue Description

Comparing the two floating point values (of different widths) using < correctly returns True.

Placing one of the floating point values into a Pandas Series and then running the same comparison incorrectly returns False. i.e. the second assertion fails.

Note that the installed versions below use numpy 1.26.4. The issue is not reproducible with numpy 2.X

Expected Behavior

Both assertions should pass
