Raymond addressed your actual question, but please post suggestion

I propose adding the key parameter
to the bisect.bisect routines. This
would allow it to be used on lists with
an ordering other than the one "natural"
to the contained objects.
Algorithmically, the bisect routines are the wrong place to do key lookups.
If you do many calls
I propose adding the key parameter
to the bisect.bisect routines. This
would allow it to be used on lists with
an ordering other than the one "natural"
to the contained objects.
(and anywhere else it makes sense in the
bisect module).
Would this be easy enough to do?
It looks like the main diff
