Environment

- **OS**: Debian 11
- **Sage Version**: 9.8

Steps To Reproduce

G = Graph ([[0, 42, 'John'], [(42, 0)]])
print (G.is_eulerian()) 
H = Graph ([[0, 42, 'John'], [(42, 'John')]])
print (H.is_eulerian())

Expected Behavior

False
False

Actual Behavior

False

Additional Information

When a graph contains vertices that are non comparable (like integers and strings) in the same connected components, calling is_eulerian on this graph raises a TypeError.

Thanks for reporting this bug. The fix is rather simple.
