Python's sort implementation is carefully written to only use the "<" 
comparison, ever.  So a cmp really isn't the most natural way to specify 
a comparison.  (This should really be documented somewhere -- I know know 
it because Tim Peters & I shared an office while he did most of the work 
on Python's sort.)
