Yes, I must have misunderstood something because I thought there also
was the following test:
self.assert_({} < {1: 2})
Which is what prompted this thread from me.

I also though about adding the following test.
dlst = range(20)
for i in xrange(20):
dlst[i] = some_ramdom_dict()
sort(dlst)
for i in xrange(19):
for j in xrange(i+1,20):
self.assert_(dlst[i] < dlst[j])
This would test for the consistency of the order, so that if a < b
and b < c that we also have a < c.
What do you think?
