Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: I'm not /personally/ concerned with the breakage because practicality beats purity, and I don't want to use lambda because it's slower. I've never used operator.attrgetter() outside the specific use case of sorted() and list.sort() so I'd like to make it able to be used in all sorting-by-attribute-chasing use cases.
Other options: have sorted() and list.sort() grow another keyword argument for the attribute-path; add another method called attrchaser() in some module that adds the requested functionality. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1826> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
