Should I apply this? There are more places that reference __cmp__ in the library. OTOH there are some folks who would like to see __cmp__ make a come-back as a shorthand for defining 6 comparison operators, for totally-ordered types. (I'm still waiting for a PEP describing this though.) Even in that case I'm not sure that the code I'm proposing to delete here would be useful.
