I myself have proposed heap objects and seen that and other features come up from time to time. I think the general mood is to use a PyPI library, or even just vendor a single file from a package like xheap https://github.com/srkunze/xheap/blob/master/xheap.py
If you wanted to stick with what's in the stdlib and have a minimal wrapper, you could turn your heap inputs into tuples of form `(key_function(object), object)`, and on getting them out, just get the object back. To have a max heap, key_function could just be operator.neg.
