-0 on this.  While it is true that __lt__ is used, we don't really want people to exploit that fact.  Doing so will get them into trouble elsewhere.  For example, max(seq) uses __gt__.  Also, when mixing types, a return of NotImplemented will trigger a call to the reflection method.  And PEP 8 recommends that all six rich comparison operators be defined to avoid hard-to-find bugs.
