I don't believe so.
You could write your own comparison functions and use those:
def gt(a, b):
if type(a) is type(b):
return a > b
raise TypeError
if gt(this, that): ...
but there's no way to change the behaviour of the comparison operators >
etc themselves, nor of list.sort.
In hindsight, this should have been a __future__ import, but it's too
late now :-(
