"Rich comparison" methods (e.g. __eq__()) are well documented and understandable.
http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#object.__lt__
They aren't harder to understand that __cmp__().

These changes don't require Python 3. __eq__() and other "rich comparison" methods
are supported since Python 2.1.

Some scripts (e.g. tools/dev/check-license.py) already work with Python 3...

r36833 rather simplified code.
