I've just noticed that the bisect module lacks of the key parameter. The documentation points to a recipe that could be used to handle a sorted collection, but I think it's an overkill if I want to bisect my sequence only once or twice with a key. Having something like `bisect(sequence, key=my_key)` would be much easier and would conform to the other operations such as max/min/sorted.
Is there some reason behind this lack? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
