Here's an example we prepared earlier: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/e7e04bea323d71f7/ba30d5da5eb8388c?lnk=gst&q=cmp+method&rnum=2# In fact, that whole thread possibly has some relevance to your problem. Note that the solution in the particular post I've highlighted works on Python 2.3 and up, but if you are using 2.4 or later, Ned Batchelder's post is of more than trivial relevance.
