Replying to [comment:2 vdelecroix]:
> 1. Could you motivate a bit more this change. I do not find simpler to
use a `key` function instead of a `cmp` function.
>
In Python 3 the `cmp` keyword has been removed in favor of `key` and
`reverse` arguments. To reduce the overhead for a user to provide `cmp`
and `key` function (e.g. one for sage's `print_options()` and the other
for python's `sort()`) I suggest to harmonize the parameters.
