I see. The Project constructor you posted did *not* put anything into any
global list.

No, I meant it would be easier to put:

	def __cmp__(self, other):
		return cmp(self.name, other.name)

In the project constructor. But I didn't understand what you were trying
to do there, so never mind.

you higher quality answers.
