 - Add `PyMapping::contains` method (`in` operator for `PyMapping`). [#2133](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2133)
 - Add garbage collection magic methods `__traverse__` and `__clear__` to `#[pymethods]`. [#2159](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2159)
 - Add support for `from_py_with` on struct tuples and enums to override the default from-Python conversion. [#2181](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2181)
+- Add `eq`, `ne`, `lt`, `le`, `gt`, `ge` methods to `PyAny` that wrap `rich_compare`.
