What's New in Python 3.0/Common stumbling blocks has this "builtin.sorted() and list.sort() no longer accept the cmp argument providing a comparison function. Use the key argument instead." Please add "The __cmp__ special method is no longer used for comparisons. Use __lt__ for sorting, __eq__ with __hash__, and other rich comparisons as needed." People are already stumbling on this.
