That specific error message is only a warning that occurs the first
time a comparison operation is performed. I've successfully used gmpy
and just ignored the one-time only error. You can use the "warnings"
module to filter out that error. If I remember correctly, it was fixed
in version 1.01. I know it is fixed in the SVN version.

Which specific version of gmpy are you using? (What is
gmpy.version()?)

I just compiled Alex's most recent SVN version on Linux without any
problems. I'll make Windows binaries next.
