Hmm... no idea on the specific problem - but this *may* be related:

IronPython 2.6.1:

 >>> class X(object):
...  def f(s): pass
...
 >>>
 >>> a = X()
 >>> a.f.__cmp__
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__cmp__'

CPython 2.6.5:

 >>> class X(object):
...  def f(s): pass
...
 >>> a = X()
 >>> a.f.__cmp__
<method-wrapper '__cmp__' of instancemethod object at 0x01858DA0>
