Summary: document default values for sort parameters
Initial Comment:
sort() and sorted() accept several optional parameters.
Should default values for those optional parameters be documented? (E.g. I
think both for sort and key None is the default value)
Explicitly documented defaults are needed, e.g. if you need to write a wrapper.
def sortWrapper( data, userKey=None)
#do something
data.sort(key=userKey)
(if you don't know the default values, you have to write something ugly like:
def sortWrapper( data, userKey=None)
#do something
if userKey is None:
data.sort()
else:
data.sort(userKey)
Or am I missing something?
