New submission from Tomas Dabašinskas:

sorted ignores reverse=True when sorting produces same list, I was expecting 
reverse regardless of the sorting outcome.

Python 3.5.2 (default, Jul 17 2016, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> data = [{'name': 'first', 'weight': 1},{'name': 'second', 'weight': 
>>> 1},{'name': 'third', 'weight': 1}, {'name': 'fourth', 'weight': 1}]
>>> sorted(data, key=lambda x: x['weight'], reverse=True)
[{'name': 'first', 'weight': 1}, {'name': 'second', 'weight': 1}, {'name': 
'third', 'weight': 1}, {'name': 'fourth', 'weight': 1}]
>>> sorted(data, key=lambda x: x['weight'], reverse=True) == sorted(data, 
>>> key=lambda x: x['weight']).reverse()
False

Thanks!
