You can ask me directly, loewis. :-) I believe that my thinking at the time was that tp_compare should only be used as a final fallback, just before comparing by address. This was consistent with my desire to completely get rid of tp_compare. But until that is done, I now agree that it makes more sense to try tp_compare first when a three-way-compare is requested -- especially in the light of sequence comparison. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
