Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stefan Behnel (scoder) >Assigned to: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Summary: typesseq-mutable lacks note on combined key/cmp usage Initial Comment: The documentation about list.sort() and sorted() does not state how the keyword arguments cmp and key interact. Aparently, if key is supplied, cmp works on the result of the key function and no longer on the item itself. This should be documented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-07-03 22:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Thanks for the report and the patch.

(You can check listsort in listobject.c to verify) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1162912&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
