[New-bugs-announce] [issue39374] Key in sort -> Callable Object instead of function

[Carlos Segura González]

New submission from Carlos Segura González <carlos.segura at cimat.mx>:

In the Documentation, the "Sorting HOW TO" (https://docs.python.org/3/howto/sorting.html) states that "have a key parameter to specify a function to be called". However, it might be other callable objects. In fact, some of the examples given in the documentation are not with functions.

I suggest: "have a key parameter to specify a callable object that is called..."
