Given that p.we.x seems to always return the same object (since the 
hashes, which which appear to be ids, are the same), an __eq__ method 
(which gets called in preference to __cmp__), possibly inherited, that 
always return False is the only thing I can think of.  (Hence Martin's 
question, I presume).  I have no idea, however, how porting could make 
that happen.
