I added a 'timetuple' attribute to my class. Now comparisons seem to "just work". This has made it even more obvious to me that I don't understand how comparisons function: If the GeneralizedTime instance is on the LHS of the comparison and the datetime instance on the RHS, why would datetime's __cmp__ method be called? I assume its being called since GeneralizedTime sure doesn't care whether or not it has a timetuple attribute... I've read through the "Basic customization" section of the language reference, which doesn't seem to describe a scenario where the __cmp__ method on the RHS is called.
