Strange behaviour of __cmp__

[janeaustine50]

See the following...
def __cmp__(self,anX):
print "comparing from",id(self)
return cmp(self.v,anX.v)

False

I expected x1>x2 or x1<x2 were False and True respectively.

See the following...



def __cmp__(self,anX):
print "comparing from",id(self)
return cmp(self.v,anX.v)




False

I expected x1>x2 or x1<x2 were False and True respectively.

list.__lt__ and list.__gt__ are being used in preference to X.__cmp__.
Override these methods.
