Given that in Python 3.0 cmp is going away, I'm not sure how much it all matters -- but if you care, as long as it's supported at all, you might as well strive for the most compatibility with 2.5... Sure, it won't be a problem on Jython 3.0. But I'm doing this for the upcoming Jython 2.5, where we still have to live with cmp
Which is why I recommend the closest possible compatibility. :-)
