It's warning you that Python will not be able distinguish between all the 
types because it does automatic type conversion. Use the /Constrained/ 
annotation on the double variants and make sure they appear first, eg.

    int cmp(double /Constrained/);
    int cmp(unsigned long);
    int cmp(long);
