I opened a relevant PR, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11781. I believe a key parameter is inferior to a comparison callback. The former is a specific case of the latter, and in my use case would force me to create another class to serve as a comparator for my objects, at which point I might as well wrap them and add __lt__. Furthermore, I believe this is more in-line with similar standard functions in other languages such as C++ (std::sort), Java (PriorityQueue) or Rust (slice.sort_by). ---------- nosy: +gpery _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue4356> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
