Lea Wiemann added the comment: "Non-obvious" to the novice that this technique can be used, and non- obvious to the reader of the program.
I'm envisioning key functions that return long sequences of -1/0/1 integers, or numbers between 0 and 2**50... Not good. Instead of removing cmp, I'd suggest simply placing a note in the documentation saying that key is preferred over cmp, to encourage readability. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1771> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
