Helpers providing a bridge between the Python 2 __cmp__ and Python 3.
Python 2 uses methods called __cmp__ to override object comparison behavior;
in Python 3 __cmp__ is replaced by rich comparison functions.
Additionally, Python 2 allows code to compare objects of different types,
falling back to lexographical class-name comparisons if types are different (so
instance of "int" are always less than instances of "str").
This file offers some utilities to bridge the gap between Python 2 and 3.
