[Tutor] Overloading comparisons

[Hugo González Monteverde]

I know it is rude to reply to myself. But I found the answer and wanted 
to share it.

I did the following test:

 >>> class Lala:
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...         if self.name == other.name:
...             return True
...
...     def __cmp__(self, other):
...         if self.time < other.time:
...             return -1
...         elif self.time > other.time:
...             return 1
...         else:
...             return 0
...
 >>> ins0 = Lala()
 >>> ins0.time = 11
 >>> ins0.name = 'myname'
 >>>
 >>>
 >>> ins1 = Lala()
 >>> ins1.time = 10
 >>> ins1.name = 'myname'
 >>>
 >>> ins1 == ins0
True
 >>>
 >>> ins0<ins1
False
 >>> ins1<ins0
True
 >>>
 >>> #See? They test correctly for greater and lesser than (time)
... #but they test equal as to time.
...
 >>> #I even tried sort, it works fine.



The thing is to use the rich comparison functions.
