Ah! So, the problem is that I have both strings and integers, there is no __cmp__ implemented that compares both, and thus the two are compared by id, which is machine dependent. But then, what can one do? I.e., how can one safely doctest the contents of a dictionary D? At least in this example, sage: sorted( [(repr(a),b) for a,b in D.iteritems()] ) should work. But it doesn't seem very elegant to me.
