Would something like the following meet your need?

Yes, it would be nice if there were a b.__name__ constant.

test(val1,val2,'>=')

and it should come back with True or False.

Is there a way to dynamically compare 2 values like this or will I have 
to code each operator individually?

def test(text):
     return eval(text)

a= 25
b= 50

print test('a == b')
print test('a != b')
print test('a <= b')
