  #1330538: Improve comparison of xmlrpclib.DateTime and datetime instances.
  Remove automatic handling of datetime.date and datetime.time.
  This breaks backward compatibility, but python-dev discussion was strongly
  against this automatic conversion; see the bug for a link.

 False if the objects aren't equal, to give the other side a chance.

NotImplemented.

(Is this worth backporting to 2.6?  It seems so useful...!)

(Rough first cut.)

*ordering* between objects; there is only a default equality test
(defined by an object being equal to itself only).  Read the comment
in object.c.  The current implementation never uses a three-way
comparison to compute a rich comparison, but it does use a rich
comparison to compute a three-way comparison.  I'm not quite done
ripping out all the calls to PyObject_Compare/Cmp, or replacing
tp_compare implementations with tp_richcompare implementations;
but much of that has happened (to make most unit tests pass).

The following tests still fail, because I need help deciding
or understanding:

test_codeop -- depends on comparing code objects
test_datetime -- need Tim Peters' opinion
test_marshal -- depends on comparing code objects
test_mutants -- need help understanding it

The problem with test_codeop and test_marshal is this: these tests
compare two different code objects and expect them to be equal.
Is that still a feature we'd like to support?  I've temporarily
removed the comparison and hash code from code objects, so they
use the default (equality by pointer only) comparison.

For the other two tests, run them to see for yourself.
(There may be more failing test with "-u all".)

A general problem with getting lots of these tests to pass is
the reality that for object types that have a natural total ordering,
implementing __cmp__ is much more convenient than implementing
__eq__, __ne__, __lt__, and so on.  Should we go back to allowing
__cmp__ to provide a total ordering?  Should we provide some other
way to implement rich comparison with a single method override?
Alex proposed a __key__() method; I've considered a __richcmp__()
method.  Or perhaps __cmp__() just shouldn't be killed off...

This test now passes after removing refs to __coerce__.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

imports of test modules now import from the test package.  Other
related oddities are also fixed (like DeprecationWarning filters that
weren't specifying the full import part, etc.).  Also did a general
code cleanup to remove all "from test.test_support import *"'s.  Other
from...import *'s weren't changed.

mostly changes of / operators into //.  Once or twice I did more or
less than recommended.

+ test_compare.  While None compares less than anything else, it's not
  always the case that None has the smallest id().
+ test_descr.  The output of %p (pointer) formats varies across platforms.
  In particular, on Windows it doesn't produce a leading "0x".

that class should compare the id() of those instances.  Add a test
that verifies this.  This test currently fails; I believe this is
caused by object.c:2.132 (Patch #424475 by loewis).

comparing different types.

overhaul.  Closes SF patch #102878.
