how to use "heapq" module as a max-heap?

[Apollo]

as we all known, in the standard module 'heapq',  we can easily get the 
smallest item from the heap. i.e. it's an implementation of min-heap.
  
 my question is how to use 'heapq' to extract the biggest item from the heap?  
is it possible?
  
 thanks  in advance.:)--

if the 'heapq' module supports user-defined comparasion, this problem will 
be much easier.
