Just for clarification: What exactly do you mean by "get away from the __cmp__"? Are you saying we should use __richcmp__? Or are you saying we should use __eq__, __le__, __lt__ etc directly? I could be mistaken, but I think __eq__ and friends are old-fashioned, and nowadays they are implemented by using __richcmp__. And then there is the complication that we should implement stuff so that the coercion system has a chance to work---see the comments around the source code of src.sage.structure.element.Element.__cmp__ and ...__richcmp__, Best regards, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
