This session should give you some hints how to archive your goal :)
Have fun!

 >>> import types
 >>> class A(object):
...     def __lt__(self):
...         pass
...
 >>> isinstance(A.__lt__, types.MethodType)
True
 >>> isinstance(A.__gt__, types.MethodType)
False

 >>> type(A.__lt__)
<type 'instancemethod'>
 >>> type(A.__gt__)
<type 'method-wrapper'>
 >>> type(A.__str__)
<type 'wrapper_descriptor'>
 >>> type(A.__new__)
<type 'builtin_function_or_method'>

 >>> A.__lt__.im_func
<function __lt__ at 0x7f03f9298500>
 >>> A.__lt__.im_func == A.__lt__.im_func
True
 >>> A.__gt__.im_func
