"ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.record.__cmp__" unreliable

[Dieter Maurer]

The method above essentially compares "__dict__.items()". However, the order in which items are generated is not determined by the set of "key --> value" pairs. Therefore, different record instances with the same set of "key --> value" pairs can compare unequal.

I suggest to replace "cmp(self.__dict__.items(), other.__dict__.items())" by "cmp(self.__dict__, other.__dict__)".
