What's New in Python 3.0/Common stumbling blocks
has this "builtin.sorted() and list.sort() no longer accept the cmp
argument providing a comparison function. Use the key argument instead."

Please add "The __cmp__ special method is no longer used for
comparisons. Use __lt__ for sorting, __eq__ with __hash__, and other
rich comparisons as needed."

People are already stumbling on this.
