Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I'm -1 on expanding this API further. It already is pushing the limits with the dual signature and with the key-function.
Many languages have min/max functions. AFAICT, none of them have an API with a default argument. This suggests that this isn't an essential capability. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
