You should look into __cmp__ and other magic methods. This is probably
the type of functionality you seem to be after.
class C:
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
def __repr__(self):
idnum = str(id(self))[-4:] #
return "C(x=%s):%s" % (self.x, idnum) # for demo
def __cmp__(self, other):
return self.x - other.x
# demonstration
import random
sees = [C(x) for x in (4,7,1,3,0,9,2)] # random-ish ints
print sees
print max(sees)
sees.sort()
print sees
