[zope2-tracker] [Bug 454448] [NEW] "ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.record.__cmp__" unreliable

[dmaurer]

Public bug reported:

The method above essentially compares "__dict__.items()". However, the
order in which items are generated is not determined by the set of "key
--> value" pairs. Therefore, different record instances with the same
set of "key --> value" pairs can compare unequal.

I suggest to replace "cmp(self.__dict__.items(),
other.__dict__.items())" by "cmp(self.__dict__, other.__dict__)".
