Hi,

 Which of __lt__, __le__, __eq__, __ne__, __gt__, __ge__ are used when
sorting lists of objects with <list>.sort()? Which of them is used for
the 'in' and 'not in' comparisons?

 Is __cmp__ no longer used at all if the above are defined?

 This might be dodgy practice, but I have some objects for which I
want to provide subtly different behaviour for the comparison
operators than for testing 'in' and 'not in'...

 Cheers,


               Dave.
