longer support the cmp (comparator) function argument. The reason is
that the key function argument is always better. But now I have a

Not necessarily. For example C/C++ doesn't define the order of the
operations inside an expression (and AFAIK neither Python) and
therefore folding 2 * 3 is OK whether b is an integer or an arbitrary

Does anyone here have access to Mathematica?
I would like to know what it returns for:
In[1]:= Permutations({a, b, c}, {5})
Knowing this will help resolve a feature request
for itertools.permutations() and friends.

The only known use cases for variants of int are types that limit the range

values to those that fit in a fixed storage width.
Add:

* Integers with exact division

The alternative would be to implement addition digit-by-digit in

Looking deeper in the python PEPs, I saw that division on integers is

This non-quotient division leads to some odd results, e.g. Python seems

I like the present print statement because parentheses are
inconvenient to type compared to lowercase letters, and it looks less

are they necessary?
Why not
Should I write a PEP?
