I'm really looking for a way to set up Python classes' natural ordering for sorting purposes. For example, every object of a class could own an attribute called 'Value'. If I could get Python to sort() a list of classes with that value, would the key=value parameter work, and is there a better way than to redefine 3 or more of the rich comparison special methods, etc. Also, I noticed heapq (the priority queue/heap queue module) doesn't use the natural sorting order like sorted() does. Just saying. Could someone give it a try?
