The exception is thrown in Python's sort() method. There are no documented changes in this method's calling sequence between Python 2.5 and 2.6, but it's quite possible there were changes in the details of the key comparison code that are responsible. No it is not prudent to do an "arch --wipe" when changing versions of Python?. It is not a good idea to ever do "arch --wipe" unless it's really necessary.
