In Py2.6 and after, you only need < and ==. I replaced the LE tests with LT to match list.sort() and bisect.bisect(). The == arises because nlargest/nsmallest compare decorated tuples. Tuple comparison always starts with equality tests to find the first unequal element and then switches back to testing whichever inequality test was requested.
