So since I implemented __cmp__ instead of the rich comparison
operators, Python first tried to reverse the comparison. This gave
datetime the opportunity to throw TypeError *before* the interpreter
failed over to trying __cmp__.
Is that correct?
Exactly. And if datetime were not so special in its implementation, a
NotImplementedError (instead of TypeError) would have let your code a
chance of being executed.
