I have to admit I fail to see the problem (perhaps Frédéric could
elaborate a bit more).

Deprecate cmp() and all __cmp__ methods (probably step by step), and
temporarily (re)implement cmp() in Python3.  Am I missing something?


Deprecating the methods could certainly be automated, but I doubt it's
worth the effort (at least to /fully/ automate that).
