The suggested patch does not actually point to any discussion or rationale for why this change was made; it just contains a pointer to this thread (which is not very useful). So, while I hate to open a can of worms: but what's the rationale here? Without the cmp argument, what's the concise way to spell something like "sort a list of floats by absolute value"? It'd be nice to have a stock example to help users rewrite their code to work with 3.0. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises LLC
