Ok thanks. Any idea what the uptake is on Py3? I know that the projects I work on are not even talking about moving in that direction due to the significant migration effort. Also, I hear that performance is an issue, though that might be improve over the longer term. On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 1:13 AM, Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml@behnel.de> wrote:

May I suggest that you implement an interface similar to the sort() method for list objects: ========================= sort([cmp[, key[, reverse]]])
Cmp(), .__cmp__, cmp=xxx, etc, are gone in Py3.
Is this only targeting 3.x? I think it would be useful in 2.x as well.
1) I think the usual approach is to implement it for Py3, then backport it.
2) Since we already know that code that uses cmp=xyz is not Py3 compatible, there is little use in providing this parameter for a new data type, so that new code ends up being broken in the future.
