I was surprised to see that comparison is slated for death in Python 3000. For example: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3100/ list.sort() and builtin.sorted() methods: eliminate cmp parameter [27] [done]
But there is a rumor of a PEP to restore comparisons. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2008-January/011764.html Is that going anywhere? Also, what is the core motivation for removing this functionality? Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
