Strange behaviour of __cmp__

[janeaustine50]

See the following...

>>> class X(list):
        def __cmp__(self,anX):
                print "comparing from",id(self)
                return cmp(self.v,anX.v)


>>> x1=X()
>>> x2=X()
>>> x1.v=-1
>>> x2.v=100
>>> x1>x2
False
>>> x1<x2
False

I expected x1>x2 or x1<x2 were False and True respectively.
