Duh. I should have said:

    def __eq__(self, other):
        if isinstance(other, FixedPoint):
            xn, yn, p = _norm(self, other, FixedPoint=type(self))
            return xn == yn
        else:
            return False

    def __ne__(self, other):
        if isinstance(other, FixedPoint):
            xn, yn, p = _norm(self, other, FixedPoint=type(self))
            return xn != yn
        else:
            return True

..using == and != instead of cmp(). I need to:

[] Stop working so late
[] Stop drinking so much Diet Coke
[] Stop putting so much rum in the Diet Coke
[] Go back to school ;)
