[Python-Dev] Rich Comparison from "C" API?

[Tim, claims that PyObject_RichCompareBool isn't documented because
 David hasn't yet submitted a doc patch]

1. You really want PyObject_RichCompareBool in your example, not
   PyObject_RichCompare.  The former is much more efficient in some
   cases (e.g., a total ordering on dicts is much hairer to determine
   than just equality).

2. This is why I keep pulling your leg.  Sometimes you fall for it <wink>.

Thanks for the patch!
