Yeah, "key" is preferred since Python 2.4, and that is what Rows.sort() uses internally. See https://docs.python.org/2/howto/sorting.html#the-old-way-using-the-cmp-parameter. If you need that same mycmp function elsewhere so cannot simply rewrite to work as the "key" argument, you can use functools.cmp_to_key() to convert it to a "key" function.
