I'm hiding some of the details here, because I don't want to say what
I'm actually doing.
I have a special-purpose class with a __cmp__ method all set up and
ready to go for sorting. Then I have a special class that is based on
the builtin type list (though I didn't actually inherit list; I
probably should). When I create an instance with 2 or more items, and
attempt to sort it, I get this strange error message:
>>myList.sort ()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>" , line 1, in <module>
File "[listModulePath]", line 239, in sort
self.listOfObje cts.sort()
TypeError: an integer is required
The sort method's code is exactly what you see; it's a one-line method.
The only thing I can think of is the __cmp__ method is returning
something other than an integer, which it's not. 10  1244

Does stuffing the objects in a standard list and sorting them work? How
does the __cmp__-method look like?

Whoops, I had created the variable returnValue in __cmp__, but
forgotten to return it. Now it works.
That was a dumb mistake; sorry for the trouble.

I have the answer to your problem but I don't actually want to tell you
what it is.
That's great, seeing as I already figured out the answer, as I have
already posted in a reply.
Are you saying I broke one of these rules? http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Or are you just being plain rude?
A lack of a response from you implies the latter...
