I see three options: * avoid PyObject_RichCompareBool() which can run arbitrary Python code: this can be complicated since callbacks can be proxies, functools.partial, lambda, and other funny callable objects * reimplement the same algorithm than the Python implementation: create a new list. * do nothing: if you do weird things, it's your fault :-) My favorite option is to work on a new list.
