In addition to this, what about the idea of a Python-level richcmp method? It would provide a single point of override for classes that wanted to use it, and it shouldn't upset any default behaviours since it's just exposing what's there at the C level anyway.

I apologize if this is a silly question, but what would be the difference between the proposed richcmp and the old cmp that's being removed?
