Hi, I posted about this to -dev a little while ago but received no response. I've got a Python class that I'm using in Zope, which defines it's own __cmp__ method. However this method doesn't appear to be being called when Zope tests for equality. Is this a bug or a feature? Is there some way I can get around this? The situation is that I have some of these objects in an array attribute of another object. If I try and compare an object that I Acquired to one that's in the list, it fails as I'm comparing an object of my type to one of ImplicitAcquirerWrapper. However, if my __cmp__ method were being used in the equality test, they'd match (I checked this). I also tried setting __repr__. This worked as I'd expect it to but didn't affect the equality test. Any help would be most appreciated, I really need to get this working. Many thanks. -- Benno Rice "No, no.
