No.

I just checked in a more ambitious patch that:

  - Implements the numeric protocol. This means that
    wrapped numeric objects should work.

  - Fixed comparison betwee wrapped and unwrapped
    objects.

  - Pass wrapped objects to comparison operators, 
    so that acquired data can be used in comparisons. :)

I also fixed a bug in some numeric coersion code in 
ExtensionClass.

So two C files were updated, ExtensionClass.c and
Acquisition.c.  You'll need to rebuild the corresponding
extensions (by running make in lib/python) after checking 
these out.
