New submission from Joseph Armbruster:
URL: http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/py3k
Rev: 59215
Session illustrating issue:
>>> a = None
[40667 refs]
>>> cmp(a,None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unorderable types: NoneType() < NoneType()
[40715 refs]
Resolution: It appears the equality comparison in do_compare should take
place first, otherwise a TypeError thwarts the desired comparison.
rt.bat Results (I can only test core, since I do not have the third
party libs here):
Failed tests before change:
test_ctypes test_mailbox
Failed tests after change:
test_copy test_ctypes test_mailbox
test_copy is failing because of this block:
def test_deepcopy_reflexive_dict(self):
x = {}
x['foo'] = x
y = copy.deepcopy(x)
self.assertRaises(TypeError, cmp, y, x)
self.assert_(y is not x)
self.assert_(y['foo'] is y)
self.assertEqual(len(y), 1)
A RuntimeError now occurs instead.
self.assertRaises(RuntimeError, cmp, y, x)
Additional Patch Note:
If this is a valid patch, please add a comment prior to the code change
that indicates the EQ test is first for a good reason.
