Not really. We'll just document that sort() should only be used on a list of objects that implement a total ordering. The behavior otherwise will simply be undefined; it will raise whatever exception is first raised by an unsupported comparison (most likely TypeError). In practice this won't be a problem. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
