I tried this. It did not work. My thoughts are that == would compare 
the pointers to the objects, not the contents.

Code wise, I have this
<span tal:condition="python:items.title_or_id == template.title_or_id" 
tal:replace="Content I want">Filler</span>

items being the list I'm iterating through.

So the obvious (==) didn't work (apologies for not clarifying this in 
the first place), the next-obvious (cmp) didn't work, what will?
