+1 > useful for what? what's the use case ? Actually, I was in need of such a construct only few weeks ago. The task was to organize playlists of an mp3 player. I wanted to sort future entries but not past ones (according to an index in the list that seperates past from future). I can imagine many more situations in which sorting part of a list is usefull. While I agree that the improvement of the additional keywords is minor, I think that the additional load they impose on the sort function is also minor. In my oppinion, this is a straight-forward extension of what we already find in other places in the library. I would like to see it in a future version. - harold - -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
