If you're traversing two containers in parallel to compare them then
you could do something like:
class LarchTree:
...
def compare(self, other, cmp):
# Same code as your original __gt__ but
# with cmp(x, y) instead of x > y
def __lt__(self, other):
return self.compare(other, operator.lt)
def __gt__(self, other):
return self.compare(other, operator.gt)
# etc...
This way the LarchTree object doesn't interpret the comparison
operators, just passes them on to its elements.
