your original test appeared to have a class descending from object.  
comparable_using applies to declarative classes.   If you were using mapper(), 
you'd take the output from comparable_using and pass it to the "properties" 
dictionary of mapper() - but more likely you'd use comparable_property() 
directly pass your comparator straight in to column_property(), as introduced 
in http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/mappers.html#custom-comparators and linking 
to an example at 
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/reference/orm/mapping.html#sqlalchemy.orm.comparable_property
 .
