Some comparisons were changed or removed in Python 3.0. In 2.6 you could
compare types (e.g. ``str < int``) and dicts supported more than just
equality. These comparisons should produce Py3K warnings.

I'm attaching a patch that handles object comparisons, type comparisons,
cell comparisons, and dict comparisons. All the tests pass (including
the new ones I've added) but I'd appreciate it if someone could take a
second look.

Other things still remaining to be done:

* Someone needs to decide the correct behavior for method-wrappers
(descrobject.c), implement that in Python 2.6 and forward port it to 3.0.

* The following objects have a good tp_richcompare in Python 3.0:
codeobject.c, methodobject.c, sliceobject.c. Those tp_richcompares
should be backported to 2.6. Then a warning can be added for LE, LT, GE
and GT (with no warning for EQ or NE which won't change).

I may have a little time tomorrow to work on the latter task.

Revision 61529 adds warnings for object, type, cell and dict
comparisons. The code, method and slice warnings are still needed.

Your patch kicks up warnings in Objects/cellobject.c because
cell_compare returns an int, your patch may return NULL.

Thanks.  I'll fix that.

So I believe it should be returning -2 instead of NULL.  Can someone
verify that -2 means raise an exception for tp_compare?

Ok, that warning should be gone now in trunk.

I took a closer look at sliceobject.c and it looks like both 2.6 and 3.0
compare them basically as tuples. So there don't need to be any warnings
about using < and > since these are still well defined.

I'll have a patch for codeobject.c and methodobject.c soon.

Resolved in revision 61570. I can't get svnmerge block to work though.
Since the code and method changes are just backports of Python 3,
someone needs to run ``svnmerge.py block -r 61570``.
