An alternative would be to give the object class comparison methods defined in terms of a missing __cmp() method. def __eq__(self,other): return __cmp(self,other) == 0 # etc This would put the fallback to and conversion of cmp -1,0,1 output in *one* place instead of sprinkled everywhere. Or these could go into a cmp_order mixin put in some lib module.
