Comment (by nbruin):

 Replying to [comment:48 SimonKing]:
 > PS: We don't even need a hash collision with the implicitly inserted
 item to fool Python's dicts.

 You haven't implemented equality in the way you think:
 {{{
 sage: k1=Key()
 sage: k2=Key()
 sage: k1 is k2, k1==k2
 inserting 5
 (False, True)
 }}}
 so python's dict acts consistently with the results of "==" as it should.
 (if you implement `__cmp__` then `0` means equal, which is a falsey value.
 If you implement this with `__eq__` instead, you see that `dict` works
 properly).
