The heap algorithm is exposed through a high-level functional interface so that you can take advantage of duck-typing.
This would also be true of a HeapWrapper class that wrapped an existing sequence. There's a difference between the heap functions and sorted(). The latter is just a single function that does its job and returns a result. But the heap interface is a collection of functions that have to be used together in the right way to maintain the heap invariants. That suggests some encapsulation is in order. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
