OK, but that starts to get pretty obscure. Supporting key and cmp args for max and min is a lot cleaner. Maybe there's some more general approach to supporting them for all these functions (sorted, .sort(), min, max, heapq, etc.) in an automatic, uniform way, e.g. by wrapping the sequences instead of using keyword args, perhaps by extending generic __cmp__ somehow. I'll think about this some more. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
