You got __cmp__ wrong -- you probably meant to do __eq__; __cmp__ is a 
-1/0/1 sorting comparison.  So 0 means equal (-1 means less-than, 1 
means more-than).

You should also do something like "if isinstance(rhs, self.__class__)", 
since "A() == 'foo'" is a valid expression that shouldn't raise an 
AttributeError.
