What I'm *not* quite clear on is why Python 3's change to reject comparisons between unrelated types makes this optimisation possible.
I think the idea was that it's likely to be *useful* a higher proportion of the time, because Python 3 programmers have to be careful that the types they're sorting are compatible. I'm not sure how true that is -- just because you *could* sort lists containing a random selection of types in Python 2 doesn't necessarily mean it was done often. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
