You can simplify that to
def __cmp__(self, other):
return cmp(other.score, self.score) or cmp(self.name, other.name)
Alternatively you can define a key function
def descending_score(s):
return -s.score, s.name
and then use it:
scores.sort(key=descending_score)
Because list.sort() is stable sorting twice will also work:
scores.sort(key=lambda s: s.name)
scores.sort(key=lambda s: s.score, reverse=True)
