If we want to behave exactly like CPython, __cmp__ should continue throwing TypeError ({}.__cmp__('foo') does throws such exception there). It seems that CPython does some trickery after calling __cmp__, but doesn't apply it to every object, as shown on >http://pylonshq.com/pasties/779>. And, if I understand correctly, the current patch is going to swallow TypeError on every __cmp__ invocation, unlike CPython.
